Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hi there, I’ve been asked to make a cake look like a carboard box, any ideas on how I can make carboard looking sides? Thanks

Hi SomethingSWeet29

Paul has two box cakes, one is the Jimmy Choo shoe box and the other the valentine chocolate box. Both the boxes are good guides for a cardboard box. If you search in google ‘cardboard box cakes’ you’ll see a few more ideas for adaptation.
Here are the Paul’s boxes:

Jimmy Choo Shoe

Box of Chocolates Valentine’s

and some google images of cardboard boxes:

You haven’t mentioned what sort of box, empty? open? or whether it will need some type of decoration. In the google images of cardboard boxes you see lots of ideas. Click on the images and you’ll be taken to more. Hope this helps.
