Also, you might visit a bakery & ask about how they transport cakes. I think you could get some good tips from them.

Good luck & most of all....have fun with it!

Thanks everyone! These two articles above are great. I am not entering a, "cake decorating,' competition, just the, "layered cake with frosting-other," category, but there are still loads of great tips.

Also, I have never heard of a 1/2 cake container. I'll have to go online and check out some cake making supply stores.

I'm sure if I asked the bakers at my local Safeway, they would give me a box.

All wonderful ideas!
