I haven't made too many tiered cakes yet but I made one this weekend that got me thinking... How do you cover a tiered cake to keep it fresh? I didn't have to cover this one because I timed it so it was done very soon before it had to be delivered. However, in the future, I would rather not cut it that close! I only work with buttercream so far and I don't use any fillings that need refrigeration. If I finish a tiered cake the day before it is needed, does it need to be covered? If so, how?
Thx!
I didn't realize you could get cake boxes that large! Where do you find them?
I live in UK. So there are boxes for tiered cakes. But I found this website and the boxes are a bit expencive though.

Good idea DianeLM. I just get boxes from the ups store down the block for me when I need tall boxes. How do you keep the top propped open?
I use the UPS store boxes for really big cakes that can't possibly fit in a cake box. But, so many of my cakes are multi-tiered or tall for other reasons, the cake boxes serve me very well.
The top is propped open because the side flaps of the lid are tucked into the flaps in the back corners of the bottom part. I add a little piece of Scotch tape, just to ensure the lid doesn't pop out of those flaps.
Where do you get the large plastic bags?
Those aren't bags. It's cellophane off a roll. Not plastic (Saran) wrap, but cellophane, like you'd find on a gift basket.
If that question was not meant for me, then feel free to ignore this post.
