Every baker, amateur or professional, should always have a reliable cake carrier handy. This simple yet useful tool can preserve the pastrys form while it is being carried to its destination. It can also protect the cake from outside elements like dust, rain and the heat of the sun that can ruin the icing or decorations. 

 

If you are a professional baker, there is no need for anyone to tell you to purchase some carriers for your pastry as for sure, you already have several. If you are someone who just loves to bake at home, you should still consider getting at least one cake carrier that can come handy for when you are bringing one of your home baked creation over to the new neighbors as a welcome token. There are of course countless other occasions when these trays are necessary like: 

 

- When bringing your baked goods to a picnic. 

 

- When transporting a cake or two to your office, to parties or to a school function. 

 

- These tools can also be used as simply trays to put your cake in before cutting it and serving to guests. 

 

These trays especially designed to transport or safely move pastries are made of safe materials like silicon and can be modified to accommodate more than one cake as well as other types of goodies like muffins and cupcakes. You can purchase a multifunction carrier that comes with removable cupcake trays. 

 

When shopping for trays to carry and transport your cakes with, always go for those that come with lids that lock and handles that let you hold or grip the tray properly. Handles can be on top of the removable lid or on either side of the tray. You can also opt for a carrier that comes with a non-stick baking pan so you can just put the cake into the carrier directly from the oven. For easy clean-up after baking, there are also carriers that are dishwasher-safe. 

 

A cake carrier can be a lasting gift to give to a baking enthusiast as this tool is durable and often comes with lifetime warranties.
