Frequently Asked Questions About Cake Boxes
Measure your cake board diameter or dimensions, then add 2-5cm clearance for decorations and safe handling. For example:
- 8" cake on 8" board → use 8x8" or 9x9" box
- 10" cake on 10" board → use 10x10" or 11x11" box
- Tiered cakes → measure total height including toppers and add 2-3cm clearance
Consider the type of decoration: buttercream needs more clearance than naked cakes, and fondant decorations require careful height measurement.
