Short answer: A1 Traders lists cupcake liners by size in centimetres, from 5 cm to 14 cm, and lists cake containers by type and model code rather than by cake weight. For single slices there are clear cake slice containers, for a whole cake a round dome container, and for desserts and pastries a pastry container, a heart-shaped canister, a gold foil baking cup with lid and small dessert cups; golden and silver cake boards come in round, square and triangle shapes. The tables show each size or model code exactly as the product name states it.
Most product pages also have a photo with the measurements marked on it. Use that photo with the tips below to check that your cake fits before you order a full pack. For everything else a bakery needs, see bakery packaging.
Cupcake liner sizes
Cupcake liners with a size in the name, by size and by the colour or finish the name gives. The cm figure is the size as listed; makers do not all measure liners the same way, so check the base width and wall height on each product's measurement photo before you order for your baking tray.

How to choose a cake box or container size
- Measure the cake, not the weight. The same weight of cake can be wide and low or narrow and tall, so note the diameter (or the length and width) and the height including cream, toppings and decorations.
- Leave a little room. A container that is exactly the size of the cake can smudge the icing; a small gap on every side and above the tallest decoration is generally safer.
- Measure the board too. If the cake sits on a cake board, the board has to fit inside the container, so check the board's size against the container's base.
- Slices travel in their own container. A cake slice container holds one cut piece; compare the depth and height of your slice with the photo with measurements.
- For display and gifting, clear containers show the cake; PET hinged food boxes and kraft bakery boxes are other options for pastries and bakes.
- Order one pack first when you change cake size or start delivering, test it with a real cake, then reorder by product code.
