Use an Inverted Bowl as a Cake Carrier Substitute

I didn’t realize that I didn’t have a cake carrier until 5 minutes before I needed to leave for a party, with a two-layer cake. Which is kind of good because if I had time, I might have gone out and bought one, but I didn’t. After I was done panicking, I realized that one of my lidded bowls was deep enough to work as a cake carrier if I inverted it.

I put my cake on the upside down bowl lid:

Then place the bowl over the cake and seal it:

Voila, instant cake carrier.

I was careful to provide support beneath the lid while transporting it. The cake made it to the party safely and was enjoyed by all.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
