We love all of our cakes that we are having at the wedding and seriously cannot wait to dive in to dessert time. Whatever our friends and family pick—peanut butter, or fruited bliss, or pound cake with raspberry preserves and delicious whipped cream cheese goodness—we know it will bring delicious delight to our guests’ taste buds!

But one thing is a strong possibility. With all that cake there is bound to be leftovers.

I gave this some thought and was thinking about labeling gable boxes or getting adorable little bags for guests to take home sweet, sweet goodness from our big day.

But something a whole lot easier came into the picture when Mama Sweet Cream asked the local grocery store’s bakery counter where they got their little plastic containers that contain the store’s yummy single servings of cake.

She explained what it was for and the super friendly grocery store baker told Mama Sweets that she would just sell them to her. Mama Sweets handed over $9 to the baker on her next trip to the supermarket and we now have 200 little plastic containers under the realistic circumstances that every last morsel of dessert isn’t devoured.

I knew that I would want a little something extra on them. And with my trusty paper cutter, some sticker paper and my favorite font, I got to work. And just like that, they were finished! A piece of cake!!

I think that they’re perfect because they don’t take up as much room as gable boxes and we don’t have to fold them beforehand. They are also better than the adorable bags because nobody will be left with squished cake.

For my fellow hive who might be interested in recreating this super simple project, here is what you need:

• Paper cutter or scissors
• Plastic containers from a local bakery
• Sticker paper
• Computer with printed out phrasing or pictures (I used “Let Them Eat Cake!” with some hearts, our initials and our wedding date, but you could do other things… like a wedding monogram, “How Sweet It Is!,” etc.)

Just measure how big to make the sticker, play with the fonts, print, cut and stick! And you’re done!

Tell me, did you have a ton of left-over cake from your wedding? Did you wind up having cake to last months after the wedding? What was one of your easiest DIY projects?
