I'm making a tiered wedding cake next weekend. This is the first time that I've ever delivered a cake the day before the event, rather than the day of. I don't want it to dry out, or be open for "flying things" to land on it, and of course my cake covers aren't big enough for a tiered cake. So, How do you cover and/or store a tiered cake, without messing up the decorations? Thanks for your help

maybe you could get a big moving box???? one that has more than enough room on all sides and on top adn just set it over top of the cake while it's on a table.....then it will keep stray hairs and dust or anything else in the air from adhering to the icing.......if it's bc or fondant I don't think you have to worry about it drying out......they pretty much seal the moisture in the cake.

Why is it you have to deliver it the day before? It seems to me that once you drop it off, it is no longer your responsibilty once someone signs off for it. Let whoever accepts the cake worry about it. Just my opinion.

I use the Rubbermaid plastic storage containers flipped upside down. They come in a variety of sizes for convenience.
