Looking for a fun way to package chocolates and baked goods as hostess gifts? Check out our cake pop boxes! They're not just for cake pops.

We simply added an Easter message to the box by adding "faux" hand lettering using a Sharpie paint marker. The ribbon is actually our plain white 1 1/2" satin ribbon that was coloured using watercolour paints.

We added small chocolate bunnies and cookies from Christy's Gourmet Gifts to this cake pop box as a hostess gift idea. Green sizzle was added to the inside of the box to keep the chocolates and cookies in place and to add a pop of colour to the presentation.

Flower Treasures spray painted baby's breath in colours to match the watercolour ribbon.

The cake pop box also makes a great container to carry large chocolate Easter eggs. The sizzle keeps the egg from rolling around and covers the holes in the cake pop base.

Note: The cake pop box is sold in two parts. The lid makes it easier to transport cake pops on the base and is sold as an add on. Both are available in white and kraft. 



Here's how you can recreate the "hoppy day" hand lettering on the cake pop box window:

  1. Download the printable template.
  2. Print the template "size as is" to fit the box window.
  3. Cut the lettering out and centre it inside of the box as shown above. Use painter's tape to hold the lettering in place.
  4. Using a white Sharpie paint marker, trace the lettering on the outside of the window.

You can also use the "hoppy day" template to add faux letter on glass containers.
Use the same white Sharpie paint markers on glass so you can remove the lettering later using water and a paper towel.
