what do you use to deliver your cakes in? i am having a really really hard time finding anything to put my cakes in...specially sheet cakes...
also...what do you use under your cakes ( cake boards ) i have been using the wilton ones and by the time i get the cake decorated the board looks so bad, its like it starts to suck the oils/moisture out of everything...any suggestions?
thanks bunches!!
I use cake boxes. I've hard of some that have some plastic containers they use.
As far as the boards, I use Renoyld's Freezer paper, shiny side up. If I want a more dressed up look then I use the cake foils. There are some that use wrapping paper and other papers and cover it with contact paper, but I like to stick with things that are made for use with food.
as far as boards go...plenty of options to get around the soaking up of the grease problem. There's greaseproof boards...my preference. You could cover your boards. I use freezer wrap most of the time but there are many FDA different colored foil wraps.
Doilies work but I find them troublesome.

thanks yall...
and btw all4cake where in NC are you? im a tarheel too!
I transport my large cakes on a sturdy tray/board, then put the entire thing in a moving box. To minimize the cake moving around in the box, I use double stick tape on the bottom of the tray and stick it to the box. I also put rolled up newspaper or towels around the tray if the box is too big.
hey fellow NC'ers! I'm in Fayetteville (not military, though).
I use the grease-proof doilies when I can and foil other times. I also like the wrapping paper/contact paper method. I use what will look good with that particular cake.
As for the mess....I put very small strips of wax paper around the bottom edges of the cake and after frosing I remove them BEFORE piping the border around the bottom.....it works great!
oh....I usually use cake boxes from Party City or Michaels. For transport, but not presentation, I've also used paper boxes from work...the kind that come with 8 reams of paper in them. They can come apart like a cake box on one side and the top holds it back together.
I bought particle board (I think that's what its called, same material as a clipboard) in 2ft by 2ft pieces for $1 each at Home Depot, DH cut it to my specifications. I covered it in foil then with the plastic tablecloths from the 99cents store, which come in lots of colors, I just bake for family and friends so they are returned to me.
To transport, I use an under the bed storage box lined with spongy shelf liner. Cake boards are tripled and covered with florist foil, and wrapping paper (covered once again with contact paper).

Never thought of opening one side like that! Great idea that I'm going to start using! Thanks for sharing!
