I'm making a cake for my son's school this Saturday for a cake walk. Where can I get a cake container? I would like to use the kind that the grocery stores have so that the top is transparent and you can see the cake. Any suggestions? It's going to be an 8" round. Thanks.

Why not go to the grocery store and aske them if you can buy one...

Couldn't hurt... they may even give you one if you say it is for a school function...

I would start their first...

You can also buy the window-type boxes at most craft stores, like Michael's.

Thanks for the tip, I thought about doing that. Just wondering if there was any where to buy these containers readily.

My local Hobby Lobby sells a good variety of cake boxes. I go there if I need just one or two really fast. I also buy some online, where if I know I will be constantly using a specific size, I can buy in bulk. I buy most of mine on ebay or you can try http://www.thebakerskitchen.com/

Good Luck! thumbs_up.gif

This is what I do. I go to the produce department of the grocery store in the morning. The strawberry boxes and the cluster tomato boxes are perfect for an 11x15 cake. The mushroom boxes are perfect for the 12x18 cake. I put the cake in those boxes and tape extra wide plastic wrap over the top. The boxes are very sturdy and the see-through top is perfect for everybody to see the cake.
