Hey everyone,

I'm just curious how everyone stores their cakes after they are decorated. I finished decorating my cake tonight for a party tomorrow but now I don't know what to do with it. I don't have anything big enough to fit over it and I'm not sure if it's a good idea to just leave it sitting out. How do I protect it?

Thanks!

i often just place a clean towel over the cake if its not covered with fragile decorations. it mostly makes me feel better about keeping any little bugs and dust off of the cake. i always leave mine on the counter, because i don't use fillings that require refrigeration.

You could use a big box you know the kind you would pack stuff in when your moving if your worried about something getting on it. Or one of those plastic containers.HTH

I've used a moving box. They have to be covered in my house or little fingers will end up in the icing

Thanks so much to everyone for your ideas...I'll have to see what I have around the house!

If I have to leave one sitting out, I buy the commercial sized box of saran wrap and drape some of that over the cake.

you can get a cake taker. they are pretty inexpensive at places like walmart or target.
