Hi Mandy! My best advice would be to chill the cake and make sure the frosting is firm to the touch before you lift the cake up and then you should be able to peel the parchment paper from underneath. Next time I would build the cake on a cardboard cake circle to give your cake a bit more structure. I have a tutorial on that here: https://sugarandsparrow.com/fill-and-stack-cake-layers/ hope that helps!

Hi! I’m a very new baker, I just made my second layer cake yesterday. I put the cake on parchment paper in a cake carrier to frost the cake and also transport it but I realized the cake is sliding with the parchment paper. I’m planning on using your method above to remove the parchment paper. Any additional advice on how to remove the parchment paper underneath? Thanks so much!

Hi Priya! I’m so happy my blog has been helpful! To answer your questions: 1) yes – I move it with the cardboard underneath the cake. That will be the most sturdy for the transfer 2) I use these boxes I found on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3KPUtds hope that helps!

Hi Whitney!
First and foremost, thank you for your blog and for sharing your tips and recipes. It has been so helpful! Question about transferring the cake from the turntable to a cake stand: Do you move it with or without the cardboard underneath the cake?

Second question: Do you have any recommendations for a cake box to transport the size cakes that you have? My daughter’s birthday is coming up and I’m hoping to bake her cake, but would need to take her cake to another location.

Thanks so much!

In reply to Ashley. Hi Ashley! I always use a cardboard cake board that is the same diameter as the cake. Then I either use the techniques in this tutorial to transfer it to a stand or to a slightly larger cake board. Hope that helps!

What size cardboard cake board do you use? I’ve always used one a bit bigger than my cake and then it ends up a neglected mess. Should I be using one that is my cake size or smaller than my cake size and then transferring it when it’s all done to a clean cake board? Thanks!
