Fun Express - Asst. Bright Color Treat Box - Party Supplies - Containers & Boxes - Paper Boxes - 12 Pieces

This review is a based on the use of multiple Amazon fulfilled products purchased across time. Numerous products were used to create a tinker bell themed cake, and this review touches on each of the products used. This cake was baked in the Wilton Decorative Preferred 12-by-18 Sheet Cake Pan. I used one standard cake mix in each layer. I cooked each layer using two Wilton Flower Nail Decorating Tool #7 equally spaced in the pan, and I watched for cooking time. The layers are very thin, but easily moved if you use parchment paper to line the bottom of the pan. I find cooking layers separately easier than using a cake splitter.The cakes were placed in layers on Wilton 19-by-13-Inch Cake Board, 6-Pack I used two boards to provide support knowing that the cake would be heavy. I used a variety of butter cream frosting recipes from allrecipies.com, and within each recipe used Wilton Clear Imitation Vanilla 8 Oz Bottle to avoid adding color to the frostings. To add color to the frostings I used the pink, green and blue colors from Ateco 1112 12-Color Food Coloring Kit. I agree with other reviewers on the coloring that the squeeze/ drop bottles are much easier and cleaner to use than other "tub like" colorings.Once the cake was assembled, filled and dirty- iced with butter cream, the decorations began. The theme of the cake is "Tinker Bell" and the six pack figurines from Disney Fairies Secret of the Wings Exclusive Figurine Playset PVC 6-Pack [Tinker Bell, Periwinkle, Iridessa, Rosetta, Silvermist & Vidia] were a perfect size for this cake and theme. There were a few imperfections on the figures, but I managed to work with them. For example Tinker Bell had a long silver finger (clearly left from the mold used) which I stuck an edible butterfly on. I left the figures tied to their stands and placed the stands in the cake (last thing before presentation).For decorating the cake I began by frosting the (rice crispy treat hill) with green tinted vanilla buttercream, and placed that on the top corner of the cake. I then traced a path (using a butter knife) in a slight curve along the cake and filled the path with regular sized m&ms using yellow and brown. There was not enough yellow m&ms in three packs to complete the path so I had to improvise at the end and use all brown (sigh!). I then sprinkled green decorating sugar over the path and gently wiped the sugar off of the m&ms and into the path spaces to fill the white with green. This also gave it a nice shiny/ sparkle look. The water by Silvermist (fairy with long dark hair and blue dress) was made by swirling some blue icing (store bought in tube) into the white butter cream on her corner. All of the "Rocks" you see throughout the cake are Candy Rocks - Pebbles 1lb Bag. I agree with other reviewers that these rocks were too big and I had to cut them in half not only to be the right size, but also so they fit snuggly to the cake. I choose these candy rocks because of the variety of colors. I needed the blue tinted ones for the water and winter fairy sections, and the other more earthy colors for the hill, the garden and the "fast flying" fairies. It was strange that these are not chocolate rocks; I knew this though when I purchased them, but having a "black licorice flavor bean" in the same mouthful as a vanilla chocolate strawberry cake is somewhat strange.The grass seen in the cake was made through two different methods. One, for frosting grass, I used Multi-Opening Tip #233 sold by Larks cake and candy, with a piping bag and a coupler I had on hand. I had also purchased another size tube (SS EXTRA LARGE TUBE#234) from larks but this proved too big for the coupler I had. The more tube like grass on the cake is created though the use of Twizzlers Pull and Peel Green Apple Candy (12 oz Bags) 2 Pack. I cut these to the desired size and pulled apart slightly to make the tall grass feel. This amt of twizzlers is WAY TOO MUCH for cake decorating and in total I probably used maybe 1/3 of the bag. I now have a whole bag and more leftover which I may or may not use...All of the edible paper items on the cake were purchased through Amazon and sold by sugar robot. These came in very nice packaging, were already cut to size (a huge time saver on a cake endeavor like this) and were colored beautifully. I will say that the image in the photo of the ivy leaves on line is MUCH MORE BLUE than they actually were. The ivy is a true evergreen (see photo), and not blue. I was hoping for more blue. This cake used: Edible Ivy Leaves - Set of 24 - Cake and Cupcake Toppers, Decoration, Edible Pansies - Pink, Purple, and Blue Set of 12 - Cake and Cupcake Toppers, Decoration, and Edible Butterflies © - Small Assorted Pink and Purple Set of 24 - Cake and Cupcake Toppers, Decoration. I did have leftover Pansies (they were quite large for what I needed them fore and in hindsight would have gone with much smaller flowers (maybe by half). The butterflies were just the right size and beautifully colored. As for the taste of these items... not much to them, but I believe that the novelty is that you CAN eat them... not that you eat them for the taste.Also featured in this cake are Edible Ladybugs Sugar Decorations (12 pc), and Winter Christmas Snowflake Sugar Decorations Cookie Cupcake Cake 12 Count, both sold by Larks. These were slightly larger in size than I may have wanted but had great flavor and coloration. I had leftover snowflakes, which is more based on my design than the item, but we did use all the ladybugs. Another decorative feature on the cake is the sugar Bees, 2 of Bees Cakes Decorations #45148 - Bumble Bee Shaped Edible Hard Sugar Decorations, 16 pcs. I purchased two sets, and one would clearly have been enough. The flavor size and coloration were all GREAT on these decorative items.Two final items to consider in this review were the cupcake cups Wilton Color Wheel Mini Baking Cups, 100 Count (under the pansies at the top of the cake) worked well and I would use them again (I will have to since there were 100 of them in the package and I used 12 of them. As well as edible glitter Dress My Cupcake DMC28011 Glitter Sprinkles for Cake/Cookies/Desserts, 0.25-Ounce, Rainbow, used to create the rainbows surrounding the light fairy. A few additional items were used in this cake and not purchased through Amazon... Oreos for dirt under the pansy flowers, gummy worms in the garden, the "2" candle, and of course parchment paper and food safe cardboard for making stencils for the rainbow shapes.Lastly we packaged leftovers in bright colored to go containers, Lot of 12 Assorted Bright Color Cardboard Treat Boxes Party Favors, after placing wax paper along the bottom of each box. These boxes were just the right size for a to go chunk of cake, but the weight of the cake pulled on the bottoms of the boxes a little. The colors were great with the theme though, and you can't beat having people take cake away in these cute containers!As a review on all the products used in this cake and mentioned in this review, we are Amazon Prime members and all items shipped timely and safely. None of the decorations were broken or damaged, all items met or exceeded expectations, and the result was a very impressive cake!!!

I ordered these as party favor boxes for my daughters birthday party and decorated them with stickers based on the theme we were having. Turned out to be just the perfect size and very very very easy to make. Even though I was not planning on putting any heavy items in the box, just to be sure that they dont fall out through the bottom, the only thing I did is put a tape at the bottom to hold it tight. But this is not something I would hold against the product, as based on pictures and description its clear that it is small in size and cannot be expected to hold weighty items. The best part I locved is that the bright colors caught my daughter's eye and she would always come running to get a hand on them.... loved the twinkle in her eye when she saw them ....Main thing to note before you buy is that it is small in size so make sure it fits your needs before you buy ....I would recommend them for small items!

I bought these to house my party favors at my son's one year birthday party. We had a monster theme and used these for the kids to bring home a little stuffed monster at our Adopt-A-Monster table. They were a perfect size for the monsters and were very easy to put together. They looked even cuter with a few googley eyes glued on!I have his 4 stars because some of the kids were playing with the boxes before leaving the party and hey ripped very easily. Although they ripped easily, it wasn't a problem for my needs and the price was perfect. I wasn't looking to spend a ton of money on favors at a toddler's party!

I bought this as a favor box for my child's birthday party. I liked the plain boxes so I could decorate them to fit his theme. They were slightly smaller than the favor boxes I'm used to, but were still big enough to fit what I bought to put in them. They were extremely easy to put together when compared to the favor boxes I'm use too, very little effort on my part, they just open up and the bottom folds closed together. I know a couple reviews mentioned not having certain colors, but you get 2 of each of the colors pictured, so if a color is not pictured, don't expect to get it. My one complaint is some of the boxes came damaged. All 12 were wrapped together, so not sure how that happened, better quality control when packaging it might have helped. Luckily I only needed 9 of the 12 boxes, so I picked the best ones. But one the handle was bent and tucked down, I couldn't get it to stand up, 2 were ripped, and both yellow ones had creases down the side. Other than that, they worked well for the cheap price and I might consider buying them again.

I purchased these for my sons Minecraft birthday party.They looked and worked great. made of good quality materials and great colors. I was able to send each child home with goldfish crackers. a fruit by the foot. a bunch of loose candy and favor toys. They were a big hit. children even had fun choosing which colors they would like to take home. To tie these in with the party theme I created minecraft signs that said thanks for playing and glued them to the boxes. these are a great choice for boys or girls parties. they are very nice as is but they are also a great canvas for further decorating. I would buy these again for sure.

I got them as favor boxes for my 2year old's birthday party. Nice size. I put in each one: sunglasses, stamp, 3 small favor-size bottles of bubbles, a necklace and a fruit cup. They fit nicely. The only bad things I noticed were they came out of the packaging with a pretty strong chemical smell, and the two green boxes each had a white mark on them where it appears the ink didn't take for some reason.

These treat boxes are a great size, brightly colored and inexpensive. I've bought them several times in different colors for birthday parties. Very sturdy. But every time I purchase I buy extra because I know some of them are going to be scuffed and scratched. Probably three out of every twelve. But I glued things to both sides of the boxes so most of the scuffs didn't show and I was able to use almost all of them. I'm sure I'll buy again when the next party rolls around!
