The sweet treat packages are elegant and pretty. The use of light pink, blue and yellow adds a delicate feminine touch to the overall display of the dessert item. Arnela Markaryan designed these folding boxes with a tea party-infused vibe and was inspired by Baroque and [Rococo's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-essential-sets) artistic style. The exterior of the box is a solid color and the lid reads the name of the company 'Eat my Macarons.' The company name is then placed in the center of an elegantly swirled picture frame. This fairy tale box of treats is a dreamy gift-inspired package.
