Give Bakery Because. It’s Gifting Made Delicious

I have teamed up with Give Bakery Because to encourage people to visit the bakery department of their local grocery store to find easy and delicious treats that you can personalize and give as gifts “just because” or on any gifting occasion.

This is the first year I’ve had two kids enrolled in school full time. So I’ve gotten really involved with the PTO, and I volunteer twice a week in my daughter’s kindergarten class. I arrive early in the morning and help the kids learn their sight words for the week.

The bakery section of your local grocery store is the perfect place for unique gifting options. With simple creative packaging, a baked good can become a personalized (and delicious!) gift that will make someone’s day a little brighter. It’s simple, easy and affordable—no baking required! Teacher Appreciation Dessert Gift Box | MarvelousMommy.com

I decided to make a teacher appreciation gift for both of the teachers. They work their tails off and don’t always have time for breakfast, so these treats are the perfect snack.

I created the gift box with my Silhouette CAMEO. It’s large enough to fit any bakery item, but you could also resize the template for smaller bite-sized treats.

These chocolate chip muffins from the bakery at my local grocery store are my absolute favorite! They are like chocolate chip cupcakes topped with mini chocolate chips.

Supplies:

Bakery Treats from your local grocery store
12 x 12 Cardstock (3 sheets per gift box)
Hot Glue or Glue Runner
Silhouette CAMEO

There are 4 total .studio3 files. One file called “DESSERT BOX – ALL” has the entire template on one page that can be resized to create any size box. The other three files (labeled 1, 2, 3) have been resized to create the gift box shown here, which is just under 4 inches by 4 inches. (more…)
