Is There An Oversized Round Cake Taker????

Hello all. Does anyone know if you can purchase an oversized round cake taker? I have the Wilton one and I've purchased one from Walmart. I need one that is just a bit taller than those. I made a round cake last night and placed flowers in the center of it. I had forgotten that I used a thicker board and when I pushed the top of the taker down, it squished the flowers on the top 
Thanks everyone..
I don't know how tall you're talking about, but I got a Sterilite cake taker at Target that usually has lots of room on top. - I think I paid like $5 for it.
So far only one cake came close to the top of the carrier, and it was I think 4 cakes I had torted and filled. And just the very tops of the rosettes touched the top of the carrier.

Thanks so much for your reply. Yea, the one that I purchased from Walmart is the Sterilite one. I think that is slightly taller than the Wilton one. It was working fine for me until I used the thicker board and torted and filled the two layers. Maybe I'll just have to buy a masonite board which is thinner than the board I used. Thanks again...
I bought one at Kmart [the Martha Stewart dessert carrier]It has an insert you can take out or leave in to carry 2 pies in it. It is 13 1/2" diameter x 7 1/2" high. I have put some pretty big cakes in it.
this may sound really dumb, but when i have an odd shaped cake that doesn't fit in a carried I use a regular card board box & just float a piece of plastic wrap on top just in case.
My b/f came up with a way to make niffty handles out of duct tape....
--if you take 2 long strips & put them sticky sides together
--then fold another strip over each edge so it is half on top & half on bottom of the first two ( this makes it stronger & keeps the glue from getting on your hands at the sides)
--then use 2 smaller strips to stick the ends of you new "handle" to the sides of the box
--just peel off one side from the box when you get where you're going & it will stick back on if you want to take the box home.
hope that made sense.
I know it's not glamorous, but it did me well for the first month or so when i was deciding if i really wanted to do this, & i have to carry mine about 10 blocks & on the subway to get them to work.
Hi Patticake1951 Thanks so much for your reply. You know what? I think that one might just work. What do you think Teekakes? If I measured correctly, the Sterilite container is also 13 1/2 inches in diameter but slightly less than 7 inches high in the center. So, the half inch or so extra in the Martha Stewart one may just make the difference needed. Alrighty, off to Kmart I go..... 
Thanks so much.
