A lunch box cake is a 4-inch cake that serves two, delivered in a kraft box shaped like a burger box, with a simple drawing and a short message on top. Avon Cake has lunch box designs for birthdays, love, Mum and Dad, teachers, graduation and Eid. Here they all are by occasion, with what you can write, the fillings and how to order.
