Reddit mentions: The best baking wrapping & packaging

Okay, it only comes in 50cm rolls, and you have to cut it yourself to square it out because it comes in a roll, but 'Miltons Fancy Foil' is exactly what you are looking for. I folded an Ancient Dragon with a square piece of paper around 15 cm and it wasn't thick at all. Here's a link for what you want.

Unfortunately, it only comes in 3 colors, gold, silver and white. Here's how my mini guy turned out. It's pretty thin for its size, so imagine how thin it will be for yours.

NOW, what I recommend is that you make your own paper!!!!

It's not that expensive, doesn't take that long at all, and you'll get more pride out of your finished product, and it will be very thin as well.

1.) Buy a metal meter stick, an Exacto Knife, Spray adhesive, 50 cm wide THIN (Not Heavy Duty) cooking foil, and various colors of 50cm square tissue paper

2.) Pick the two colors you like the most.

3.) Pick area that is flat, dirt and crumb free, and lay down some newspaper so you don't get adhesive on anything you like.

4.) Rip off enough tin foil

5.) spray down one side of tinfoil. Carefully lay down your tissue paper so that it is perfectly flat. Take your time with this, because once you lay it down, it's never coming off.

6.) Let dry for a few minutes, then repeat with the other side

7.) Time to cut it into a perfect square. This part is the tough part. Before you cut, you need to make sure that your sides are all the same length. Then, you need to measure the two diagonals. Once every single side to the paper is perfectly the same as well as the diagonals, then you are good to cut your perfect square. Most people only measure the sides and assume the square is perfect. Measuring the diagonals will let you know if your square is lopsided or not.

Usually you have to trim it down because you can never lay down the tissue paper perfect, so my squares usually ended up being around 45-48 cm

The Paper holds itself together extremely well, is cheaper, and it's better than most of the stuff you can buy. If I'm not using Wilton's Fancy Foil, this is what I'm doing, because sometimes models need colors. Sometimes they need specific colors. Here's an example of one I made using paper I made myself.

So yeah, for the thinnest paper around that is also very strong, use Wilton's. If you are okay with slightly thicker (But as you can see, you can still shape very well) paper the benefit of colors of your choice, then making your own is where to go. You should make your own I recommend, it's a lot of fun.

If you have any other questions, I'd be happy to answer.

It's not on amazon, I looked everywhere, but for starters, I think you need this tshirt. Im actually going to add it to my birthday wishlist. Lol

This spa kit came up while I was searching for Dr. Who stuff. Lol. I don't know why, but I felt like it needed to be shown to you.

Goonies mug or maybe Classic movies mug

Im bad at picking stuff out. Lol.

I'd like this wire tree or this wire ferris wheel for my craft table display, if I win!

Thanks for the contest!!!

These treat boxes. Christmas isn't really that close, but I'm already planning out gifts for the people dearest to me. I think that these cute little boxes would be absolutely perfect to house some of the small hand-made items I'm currently working on c: Or food treats. 'Cause who doesn't like treats?

As for something else.. I may be going to see a meteor shower with my boyfriend and his family tonight. It'll be my first one c: I've had a lot of first time experiences with him and it amazes me at how much I've missed out on even though everything was within driving distance to me. He's really introducing me to a lot of things I never knew existed right in my face lol

I don't know if you're a fan of cupcakes, but I looooove cupcakes. What could make delicious cupcakes even better? Unicorns.

Best cupcakes ever.

It's foil meant to wrap cake boards but it turns out it's awesome for origami. It comes in gold, silver, and a glossy white. I got some of the gold and I love it.

I've seen this foil a lot here lately. I think /u/Name2ShortNowItsLong first discovered it; this post is the first I heard of it.

Thank you so much! I definitely had those same issues the first time I ventured into trying plastic packaging for macarons but I found that I just have to be a lot more careful with how much filling I put into the macaron. I'll even check the macarons as I'm filling them in the plastic cavities. Sometimes, your shells could be too fat as well if the feet are too high and not as ruffled--that could also be just cooking the macarons at too low of a temperature. I did find a good, large cavity-size macaron packaging though for extra-tall macarons that I like on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Vend-Exchange-Plastic-Macaron-Inserts/dp/B078HVPNNR. You could maybe try those out!

Oh this is fun! I have a huge sweet tooth, and this is what I found! Happy cake day!

Start off a little healthier: NYX Round Case Lipstick in Fig

and then move on to something a little sweeter! This is Maybelline's Dream Bouncy Blush in Pink Frosting

and finally, this Etude House all over color product in Raspberry Mousse Cake

I’ve seen some posts recently about how to mail macarons so I thought I’d share what I did.

I bought these macaron boxes on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JDPWSO4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_0MG0CbNBKDJH7

I taped all the sides of the boxes closed to help keep them fresh, then taped a sheet of bubble wrap around them. Then I packed them in a normal box with sandwich bags filled with air on the top and bottom and stuffed more bubble wrap in any remaining space. USPS priority mail was the cheapest option, and since my folks only live a few hours away, it only took a day for them to be delivered. I also sent some to my sister who lives much farther away and they’re suppose to be there tomorrow, so I’m anxious to see how those faired as well.

I bought a few sets of these on Amazon and they worked really well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078HVPNNR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My macs weren't fat enough to fill out the whole space, but the locking mechanism was really nice and it kept the ganache on the s'mores from sticking to the layer above it. That said, they were pretty expensive and probably overkill. Until recently, my shells were very fragile and I was worried about transportation. I finally started baking them longer and they no longer have issues cracking at the slightest touch, so Tupperware would probably work just fine!

Thank you so much! I got it on Amazon, like these guys: https://www.amazon.com/PacknWood-Plastic-Macaron-Closure-Macarons/dp/B00PDMWBSE/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1474491674&sr=8-17-spons&keywords=macaron+box&psc=1

I think there was an episode of Cupcake Wars where one of the guys did this with two different fruit flavored cupcakes. He said something along the lines of "make sure it's the same consistency and has a similar cooking time, otherwise one side will burn and the other is unfinished."

I know that there are products you can buy to make it easier than just dropping flavors on top of each other (though that probably works too). I have these little things called Batter Babies and these too. I haven't gotten around to using either of them yet but they should make the process easier.

[These sprinkles are so awesome I don't even care they're back ordered!](

I mean, sparkles! How easy was that?

You ended your post with "I have learned to love the corn tortilla." I don't tolerate corn well so I avoid the corn tortillas. For a cheap wrap, I buy spring roll wrappers from an Asian market. I run them under water, getting both sides damp, shake 'em off, then put them on a plate and wait a minute. They get soft and then I can wrap up whatever in them: ground or shredded beef taco filling, barbecue, tuna salad, turkey salad, etc...

use this instead:

White foil will look substantially better.

I got them on Amazon, they have all kinds of boxes!
