Introduction: A cake is a sweet baked dessert that comes in many flavors. Initially, it was a modified bread covered in honey or different sweetening materials. It is one of the most loved dessert in the world which has equal importance globally. Its importance can be judged by Julia Child’s these words: A birthday party without cake is just a meeting”. It is made for celebrating any event of happiness and remembrance. It is loved by people of all age classes. Like in a movie after eating the whole cake the lead character says “I am not much of cake person”. A cake is included in meals on daily basis and is now a part of the diet.
Composition: A cake is mostly made from flour, eggs, sugar, 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 are covered with dessert sauces or creams to give additional taste and make its appearance more attractive.
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.
Cake in a Box: Cake in a box is phrase is used for cake mixes that are in powder form and made by just adding oil and water. Baking it for required time and your desired cake is ready. This was invented for the people who either did not know how to make a cake or didn’t 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 can’t 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.
Cake Packaging: 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 doesn’t 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 resealable 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 company’s credibility and ensures that sales are good. Hence the company’s 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.
