rubyrara

Hi folks...anyone any ideas where I mgiht find a 9" and 12" square tupperware style container for transporting and storing my pre-iced wedding cakes in?

I have had a quick look around on the net, but nothing so far and I can't get onto ebay at work....

Any help much appreciated!

I bought huge ones from ASDA they have loads there, seal able lids to keep things inside fresh. They are like over sized lunch boxes. Hope this helps.

Wilko's or Tesco also probably do them

this isn't cheap - but I swear by it!

12" square is a common papercrafting size - you could look at hobbycrafts storage boxes

I bought study cardboard boxes from a cake decorating supply shop to transport my iced wedding cake in the car. They worked fine :cool:

Rubyrara, I would be very wary of keeping iced cakes in Tupperware type boxes for any length of time, as they make the cakes sweat, you are better using the cardboard cake boxes made especially for keeping and transporting cakes in.

I was going to say exactly the same! Your icing will end up getting damp and sticky and it'll ruin the finish! Would be ok for a short period if only used for transporting but any more than an hour or two and I'd start to get rather nervous. The card ones are very cheap and can then be left with the cake for the happy couple to take home any leftover cake!

I find that people are usually more careful when transporting a cake in a cardboard box. As I'm a newbie I can't post a link, but I use cake craft shop dot co dot uk for all my baking bits and bobs (I'm not in any way affiliated with them).
