Hello, what do you guys cover your finished cakes with. I have a noah's ark cake that is due tomorrow and I have it sitting on my kitchen table. It is pretty big, and alot of store bought animals around it. What should I use to cover it? I am afraid to use a big trash bag because I have alot of melted chocolate on the cake. It is on a big round cake board. I wish I knew how to send a pic, but I only have a laptop.Thanks, for any suggestions.

I don't ussually cover mine until after they are cut into. I think the cake might be fine until tomorrow. Good luck. I would love to see a pic once you figure out how to download them.

If you feel that you have to cover your cake, you might see if you can get a clean cardboard box and place it over the cake.

As to downloading your pictures, I use a laptop as well and have no problems. It depends on the program you are using.

I wouldn't use a plastic bag because they have a ordor that you wouldn't want your cake to pick up

Those large plastic totes work great. Use the lid as a board, and the tote as a top. It's an XXL cake caddie!
