Pizza boxes
Date Added: February 3rd, 2008
Valentines tip for sending in cupcakes to school. First, I want to say “healthy, smealthy snacks”. I never remember moms sending in carrot sticks for a party at school! Sugar these kids up! Just try not to sugar ‘em up at home…let the teacher deal with one day of sugar-high induced kids.
Next, don’t send in those huge cupcakes. Older kids won’t even eat the whole cupcake. They just eat the top off and throw away the rest. I suggest you make more of the mini ones. Kids will actually eat one or two and toss away only the wrappers. Now, this is where the tip comes in: buy a ‘make and take’ pizza from Sam’s Club ( you can go elsewhere, but Sam’s is the best~ and cheap!!), enjoy the pizza but don’t forget to save the box. You now have a container to safely hold all those mini cupcakes you need to transport for your child’s class. Plus, you don’t have to worry about leaving the precious Tupperware container at school. Nothing like recycling.
IA quick caution though. I do recommend cleaning the box out, before putting in your cup cakes. You’ll have to take out all the extra cheese and should probably leave it open overnight to get the pizza odor out. You don’t want pizza flavored cupcakes, do you? That could be your chicken pucker moment, not that I am speaking from experience or anything…..
