Re: Domes for cake plates

[ Edited ]

I bought a really nice one on Amazon a couple of years ago.  It was in the $40 range.  Glass, of course.  

 

Measure your cake plate first.

 Check thrift stores, I volunteer at a charity based thrift store and we usually have one.  People will drop the base and break it and donate the dome.  If you have one near you it might be worth a look.

I know it's probably not as appealing to look at, but I have some large Lock & Lock bowls that I use for cake plates and it works great and keeps the cakes fresh longer because it seals up.

 

I just put the cake on the inside of the seal, usually I'll put down at least a sheet of parchment (I have some rounds I bought years ago) and/or I cut a round piece of cardboard and cover it in aluminum foil.  Then use the vessel of the L&L as a dome.  Smiley Happy
