i'm ready to puchase bulk cake boxes and drums and am trying to figure what do you recommend. right now my business primarily does 6 and 8" round cakes. i think i've done one 10" round so far but most are the smaller sizes. what size boxes and cake drums are best to use for the 6" and then for the 8". do you normally go up one size bigger than the cake? so for the 6" i should purchase 8" drum and box?
probably a silly question but i still needed to ask 
thanks!

The rule of thumb is the board should be 2 to 3 inches bigger then the cake. So, if you don't do any elaborate borders or things on the sides of the cake I would go 2 inches bigger. So for a 6" cake, I'd go with a 8" board, and 8" box. For the 8" cake, 10" board and 10" box.

If you don't want to spend a ton of money and only order one size of box, go with the 10" box- you can put both the 8" and 6" in it, and a 10" as well. You can always put a ittle piece of non-slip shelf liner beneath the smaller cakes, so they don't slide around. But, yes, you will need to order all of the board sizes. HTH!
