Thanks for your patience with a beginner.

If I'm making a 6" round cake, what size cake box would I order for it?

Is 6" x 6" x 4" too small?

Is 8" X 8" X various heights too large?

Thanks a million for any help.

I'm from NJ and I found a charity that will take cake donations and sell them to benefit pets in need. I figured I'd make a bunch of 6" round cakes and see if they sell.

I use boards that are at least 2" bigger than the cake so for a 6" cake, I use 8x8x4 or bigger box. You will want a bigger box than the size of your cake so the cake decor on the sides do not touch the box.

Does anyone know a good website where I might order cake boxes.

I'd especially like ones with a window in the top.

If not a website, any stores in New Jersey or a chain?

Thanks so much for any help.

I would check at various stores throughout your community. A discount dollar-type store used to sell them where I am, but now I actually by mine at an equipment rental store that also rents wedding supplies! You will be shocked where you might find them. Also, sometimes papergoods places will have them -- or a restaurant supply.
