What is a printable dessert box?
A printable dessert box is a small, individualized dessert box used to package your favorite treats. Choose a dessert, like a donut or cupcake, then print the template on sturdy paper and fold into a 3D box!
Dessert boxes are a great way to dress up individual party favors, or to give to a friend or family member to celebrate their achievements!
