I'm trying to find a square flat cake platter for my square cakes at home, for ex: crumbcake, etc.

The only square dishes I see are the ones with a "well" in the middle like for a dinnerware set. I don't want anything fancy just something serviceable for home use, not something silver or a pedestal.

I checked all over.................I'm coming up blank.

Thanks.

Try looking for cheese boards or cheese platters. They come in a variety of materials and patterns and are almost always flat all the way around.

that is an interesting idea....wouldn't have thought of it. Thanks!

Go to Goodwill or whatever thrift store you have near you. The ones around here always have square glass platters/turntables for microwaves. I have a couple of round ones and they're very sturdy. Can't beat it for 2 bucks!

Someone on here suggested the large ceramic tiles. Cheap, sturdy, dishwasher safe. Sounded like a great idea.

I recently ordered a piece of clear acrylic sheeting, 12" square by 1/2" thick for around $15 from Ebay.

I bought mine for use as a portable fondant-rolling surface (for when I want to create AND watch TV!) but with a few cheap stick-on non-slip feet it could make a great cake platter too. 1/2" think would easily support a cake. Ive even seen them with diamante trim stuck all around the edge for a bit of 'bling'

Just an idea

Have you ever checked HomeGoods (TJMaxx)? I had seen a square white ceramic cake plate at Sur La Table and it was reeeeaaaalllyy expensive. Not 2 days later, I got the exact same plate at HomeGoods for $10!!!!!

Wow, I hadn't thought of the cheeseboard, acrylic or ceramic tiles - great ideas! I did check all the thrift stores (although I never thought of using the microwave turntable for it!) and as many stores around here that I can. I wish I had a Homegoods store - I hear they have a lot of good things in there.

I think I'm on my way back to Goodwill and Lowe's. Thanks so much for all your help everyone.

I knew you guys at Central Central would have ideas for me!

In a pinch a piece of foam board, covered, cut to size works great. But I really like the idea of a large ceramic tile!
