Specialty box packaging/Cake questions

[alongcame]

Hey everyone,

I have been making a lot of specialty fondant cakes, and I will be making some cakes like the pink cake box site in the near future.

For my 1 and 2 tiered cakes I would like to buy some specialty cake boxes.. i.e. pink, blues, stripes, fancy kind of boxes.

I live in Canada but dont mind buying from the U.S. if I have to. I have done some research with no good results.

Secondly, where is a good source for cake add-on's? Speciality toppers, star add-on's as featured on the pink cake box site?

Last question (I promise!) I know there is different colours of premade fondant available, in my area the only thing I can find is white. I ask this because I had issues making a red fondant a few weeks ago, and I am about to venture into chocolate brown fondant. The basic food colours just dont produce the same look however. I would ideally like to replicate every colour under the sun with my dyes and colours, can I ask what some of you may be using to achieve this?

Thanks so much in advance,
Colin

Maybe I am being black balled because I am a pro caterer. But I still feel these questions are great ones to ask. However, I will find the answers myself if no one has any input thus far and add them to this thread for future reference.

Don't be discouraged, as you well know chefs are a busy lot.

I don't know if you can use these boxes since they may not be food grade, but check out
