Where can I get those boards to put the cake on and into a box?

Question

I'm baking a cake for a friend. I know I can buy those cake boxes at Party City, but do they also sell those cake boards? The thing to put the cake on top of. What other ideas can I use. I used foil before but that no good. I don't want to just put the cake in the box. THANKS!

Answer 1

At a craft shop or a bakery or cake shop!

Answer 2

I've seen them at Wal-Mart and Michaels (craft store).  

Answer 3

Yes, you can just buy the cardboard boards along with the boxes. But I don't do that. I use cardboard boxes and trim them down to fit then cover them with foil or pretty paper or freezer paper.

When you put the cake in a box, don't worry about putting anything on top of it other than the other half of the box or the flip over lid. If it is just a half box, put plastic wrap over the box. Do not let it touch the cake.

I could give you the site of the cake decorating company or it's name but Yahoo answers says this is solicitation and I don't want to lose any more points to their stuffy attitudes.

Answer 4

I've used thick cardboard or an unused floor tile covered with foil before and it worked fine.

Answer 5

any restaurant supply store should carry it, and let you buy as few as you need.  Plus, a rest. supply will be WAY cheaper than Party City!
