Cake Packaging & Display Stands

Find Cake Boxes and Stands That Turn Bakes Into Centrepieces

The way you present your baked goods matters just as much as how they taste. A perfectly baked cake deserves packaging that keeps it safe and makes it shine. After all, nothing ruins a showstopping cake faster than a wobbly stand or flimsy box.

Well, you're in the right spot. At Spotlight, you'll find a massive range of high-quality cake boxes and stands from brands like Mondo, Loyal and more. From tall cake boxes to sturdy boards and eye-catching stands, there's something for you at Australia's favourite party shop.

Whether it's a birthday, baby shower or wedding, we've got just what you need to carry, protect and show off your bakes with ease.

Start With the Right Cake Box For Your Bakes

The right cake box depends on what you're baking and where it's going. At Spotlight, we've got packaging solutions for all kinds of baked goods that come in different shapes, sizes and styles.

Whether you're boxing a simple sponge or gifting a dozen cupcakes, we have options in stock that work. Here's a quick guide:

• Cupcake boxes: Secure and separate each cupcake with inserts. Great for parties, school events and gifting.
• Cookie boxes: Flat and durable, ideal for neatly stacked cookies. Many come with a clear lid or window for easy viewing.
• Clear window cake boxes: Perfect for showing off decorated cakes or glazed donuts while keeping them protected.
• Catering trays: Made of durable cardboard and come with a clear lid, these are perfect as macaron boxes or grazing boxes.

Keep Cakes Steady With Boards, Dowels, and Foam Dummies

Before you box or display your cake, make sure it has a strong base. Food-grade cake boards and dowels are essential for supporting your bakes.

We stock a wide range of cake boards in different shapes and sizes, including round, square and rectangular options. Use them with our foam dummies to practise decorating or build the height for tiered cakes.

For tall or multi-layered cakes, grab some dowels to help support the structure. These can be trimmed to size and used across layers to keep everything in place.

Make Party Cakes Stand Out With the Right Stand

Cake stands turn your baked creations into a centrepiece. For weddings, birthdays or high teas at cafes, the right stand lifts your cake off the table and adds height to your display.

We carry everything from classic acrylic tiers to themed and cardboard stands for cupcakes and treats. Wedding cake displays are made easy with sturdy and elegant cake stand options.

Whether you're setting up at home or styling a dessert table at a venue, we have a stand to suit the occasion.

Pack Treats in Style With Our Treat Bags

Treat bags are a quick and easy way to share baked goods at parties, markets or gifting occasions. Spotlight's range includes Kraft paper styles, clear cellophane, resealable bags and gusseted designs. Here are some ideas to help you pack treats that look great and travel well:

• Use gable boxes or kraft bags for wedding favours or baby showers.
• Stack biscuits or slices in clear cellophane bags and tie with twine or ribbon.
• Wrap individual brownies, cake slices or donuts in waxed or baking paper before slipping them into printed treat bags.
• For a polished look, add a ribbon, thank you tag or sticker that matches the theme of your party or event. You can also use hole punchers to create your own themed closures.

What Cake Box Size Should You Pick?

Choosing the right cake box size is more important than you think. A tight fit can smudge icing. Too loose and your cake may shift.

Here's a quick guide to help you out:

• Round cake: Measure the diameter of your cake board, then add at least 2 cm to the box size for a safer fit.
• Square or rectangular cakes: Consider the length and width of your cake board and add room around the edges.
• Tiered cakes: Use a tall cake box that comfortably fits the full height, including any cake toppers or decorations. Make sure to measure from the base of the board to the top of the tallest point, and leave extra clearance to avoid squashing.

Measure from the widest point of your cake and always include the base board in your calculation. Also, consider the type of icing or decoration. Buttercream and fondant need more clearance than a naked cake.
