  just a meeting.

  butter or oil, and leavening agents like Baking
  soda or Baking powder. There are many additives
  added to give taste to cake like cocoa, dried or
  fresh fruit, nuts, and essences of vanilla. They

• History
• A cake was made as easy to make food for the
  purpose of feeding the people during the Great
  Depression. It was patented by a company and that
  was the beginning of the production of cakes in a
  box. The mass produced packed cakes are more
  preferred over specially baked cakes.
• After the war, easy-make cake mix was introduced
  into the world that gave convenience to the women
  of all classes. But this caused the downfall of
  the cake market as women were dispirited by not
  making enough effort at home. So in light of this
  problem, Marketing strategists and psychologists
  introduced frosting, which gave women a chance to
  prepare their own custom cakes at home. Ever
  since cake has been a staple of markets worldwide.

  that are in powder form and made by just adding

  the people who either did not know how to make a
  cake or didnt have the time to make it.In
  earlier days making a cake was a hard labor and
  buying cakes from a bakery was not cheap. So cake
  producers came up with this easy-make cake so
  anyone and everyone could enjoy this sweet bliss.

• Cake Packaging
• Cakes come in all types, sizes, flavors, and
  shapes. There are dry cakes, fresh cream cakes,
  and ice cream cakes. Cakes are available in every
  possible flavor and any possible setting or
  shape. Some cakes are custom made in special
  shapes for special events. And hence the custom
  cake packaging boxes are made for this purpose.
  Cake boxes are usually made from cardboard or
  hard paper. Custom cake boxes are printed pre-cut
  and then assembled for the cake packaging.
  Sometimes cakes are made for special orders for
  weddings and birthdays. These cakes cant be
  packed in conventional boxes and hence require
  custom cake packaging. The packaging material is
  a specially made paper that keeps the frosting
  intact for transportation of the cake.

The cake packaging boxes used in the baking
industry are made of hard paper which is printed
on one side and the inner side is often laminated
so that cream or frosting doesnt get absorbed
into the paper. Customization in the boxes is
important in the cake business no cakes are made
alike. Normally bakers keep different sizes and
types of cakes on display. Every cake on display
may a different height, diameter, and frosting.
So custom made boxes are produced so the
customized cake can be packed in it. The boxes
usually have a transparent top so that the
customer can see the box and see what kind of
cake it is.

• Advantages of custom packaging boxes
• Many of the bulk producers forget the importance
  of packaging and that cause the downfall of the
  business. Cakes are produced in the form of rolls
  and bars which are ready for consumption. These
  cakes are packed in special resalable packs. This
  packaging keeps the cake soft and keeps the taste
  and texture of the cake intact. The idea is to
  keep the cake good until the expiry date. The
  packaging is a silent marketer and shows the
  potential of the product. So the product on a
  rack in a shop is an advertisement about the
  companys credibility and ensures that sales are
  good. Hence the companys focus is more on
  packaging as well as the taste and quality of the
  cake. A cake with poor packaging loses its
  credibility by just one look. Mind makes the
  first impression of an object by seeing it. If
  the box has an eye-friendly appearance the
  customer will surely check it out and even buy it.

• Bakeries have their own custom boxes made for
  cakes and pastries. These boxes have the name of
  the bakery printed on the top including the
  marketing statement telling the customer that the
  product is fresh and tastes really good. The cake
  will sell if it looks good but it will be only a
  half sale if the customer is not satisfied with
  the packaging. Cakes are really delicate and
  require careful handling. The cake is baked and
  placed on a round or square cardboard covered
  with aluminum paper. The cardboard acts as a
  plate or platform for the cake. Even when the
  frosting and cream are applied on the cake, the
  cake is handled and moved by holding the plate
  and not moving the cake itself. When the cake is
  packed for the customer the box should be such
  that the cream or frosting on the top does not
  get destroyed. The description of celebration is
  usually written using frosting on the top of the
  cake. If the packaging box is not high enough it
  could smudge the writing on top of the cake and
  the appearance will be destroyed completely.

Conclusion Packaging is undoubtedly one of the
most important things for marketing of a product.
Similarly, cakes also sell on the same principle.
It may be ready to eat cakes or custom made
birthday cakes, in both scenarios the packaging
should be as good as the cake itself. The
packaging ensures that the cake will reach its
destination safely and in one piece.
