MAKE AND TAKE CAKE PLATE

If you want to take your cake with you to a party, but it is too big to fit on a standard plate or dish, simply find a large cardboard box that is just a bit larger than your cake.

Cut the seams of the box so that it lies flat. Place cake pan upside down over the box. Trace the cake pan shape onto your box.

Using a box cutter or a heavy duty pair of shears cut around your traced pan adding about an inch. Using aluminum foil cover the board completely top and bottom.

For added stability to larger cakes, cut out 2 forms and glue the boards together before covering with foil.

Now when your cake is done baking, simply invert it onto your pre-shaped cake plate, cool, frost and go. No need to worry about getting your plate home after the party either.
