9" parchment circles...?

I need about 500 9" parchment paper circles and thought that
they would be easy to locate.

To my surprise, the only source I can find is an outfit
called "Sugarcraft" and their price for the shipping is as
high as the price of the goods.

I try to avoid buying from outfits that profit so grossly
from the shipping.

Might you know of another source?

Have you checked for a local cake supply store? Or perhaps
Wilton's has it online?

Sincere thanks,

Maybe you need a cutting laser head for your printer. Just put the ream
of paper on the bed, and print out a circle. There ya go.

Seriously, I wonder if these will ever become common. They can be
quite safe buried inside a printer, and would print out paper
decorations, envelopes, and various functional items too. All with a
pretty black edge.

Hi again,

I thank you for the suggestion, but no luck on Wiltons...

A friend who is visiting just helped me though. When I told
her of my search, she quietly repeated "Hmmm Parchment
Rounds...?"

When I changed my google efforts from "parchment circles" to
"parchment rounds" I get many more hits.

All the best,

They are all over the net, but the number you want will weigh a bit.
What is the shipping they are asking?

Meanwhile, investigate here:

I think that anyone who sells the bulk number you need will be to the
trade or professionals and smaller orders might take the brunt of
shipping charges.

Here's an outfit that charges exact shipping only.

Howdy,

I don't have the prices before me, but the goods were on the
order of $20 and the "shipping" $18.

With the least expensive UPS ground service that should have
been on the order of $4.

All the best,

Try King Arthur Flour. No spaces, dot com. Or Maid of
Scandinavia/Sweet Celebration in MN. They're online, too, but I don't
know which name they're using. MOS is a local storefront here, too,
More than one, in fact.

Kenneth,

I've seen them on the King Arthur online catalog site. Go to
www.kingarthurflour.com and follow the links.

HTH!

Happy New Year!

I placed an order with Maid of Scandinavia over the phone last month.
By the time I hung up the phone, the order was here. Seemed that way,
anyway. I posted a link to their site earlier, as Sweet Celebrations.
They charge only for the postage they actually pay. No padding.

ditto. Or, any food service supplier, or local grocery stores with a

Hi Elaine,

The solution turned out to be using the proper term in my
google efforts... "rounds" did the trick.

Hi Kenneth,

Glad you were able to solve the problem.

It would be nice if the search engines like Google had a "see also" list
of synonyms and alternate terms.<g> I don't know how many times I have
searched for something for which I didn't have an exact term and
therefore, didn't get the results I needed. sheesh. That is so
frustrating.

Hi again,

I would expect that with today's technology, I could type in
"Parchment Circles" and Google would respond by asking me
"Do you want those paper-like things that you can put
between your crepes so that you can separate them more
easily after freezing...?"

That's waxed paper and I just cut squares of it from the roll. You can
get the waxed paper in a supermarket.

Good advice, if that's all it's needed for. Sheesh, some people can't
think outside the box (so to speak).

Practice safe eating. Always use condiments.

Of course, my Google comment was a joke, but that aside...

Might you suggest a source for 500 9" waxed paper rounds?

I cannot. What I was trying to suggest (and not very successfully or
clearly, I guess) was that if you simply want the parchment for
separating crepes for freezing, I'd forget the idea of round and simply
use squares of waxed paper. Just trying to be helpful - sorry.
Apparently your need is more specialized than that.

Barb,

I think Kenneth's comment was to SF's snotty reply, not to your
suggestion. I, too, cut squares of wax
paper or parchment paper, although I've never needed 500 at a time.
I like squares for round things because the edges of the divider are easy
to "grab" and pull apart.

Kenneth didn't specify the intended use, so I wasn't "thinking outside the
box", either. Since a lot of people read these posts, I think the
alternative idea was great. I have a couple of my own.

cheap, thin paper plates (100 ct for $1.50)

a box of parchment squares (like the grocery stores use for self service
bulk cookies or donuts and like donut shops use). They come in "pop-up"
boxes (like Kleenex tissues do). They also come in foil.

disposable food service gloves (the thin, baggy, "plastic-wrap" ones)

paper cake pan liners (which may be what 9" circles are)

paper "doilies" (like used in bakeries)

or, items can be made and frozen in a single layer on a cookie sheet (or
whatever) and then stacked in a container without dividers.

It totally depends on for what a person needs a divider and how plain or
fancy that divider needs to be.

I thought he was lining cake pans or something. Since
he said round, I figured he needed round for a reason.
