How to store a tall cake?

[barbie]

We have a princess cake for my niece.. the skirts are wide and tall and we don't have a container to store in the fridge. Any tips like I don't pencil or something you have used before to store it properly?

After putting all the effort in it would be a shame for it to get damaged. I'd really be looking to rush to the shops and get a decent box rather than improvise then store it sowhere cool as the fridge can make icing sweat.

That’s nice, but I don’t think you eat the plastic little thing you put on it. that’s too feminine for me to eat a cake like that

Ah, the quest for storing a majestic princess cake, what a noble endeavor! I remember facing a similar culinary conundrum. Here’s a hack that saved the day: Take a few skewers or toothpicks and gently place them around the top and sides of the cake. This acts as a little protective scaffolding. Then, carefully drape plastic wrap around the cake, ensuring it doesn't touch the frosting or decorations - the skewers will help with that. If the cake is super tall and you’re worried about it toppling over, try clearing a space in the fridge and gently placing it on a flat surface. If it’s still a tight fit, find a large box (even a clean cardboard one) that’s taller than the cake and open at the front. Place the cake inside, and carefully set it in the fridge. This improvised "cake condo" should help protect your niece's regal dessert from fridge odors and accidental bumps. 🍰👑
