Getting a cake from the kitchen to somewhere else in one piece is the entire problem this solves. A 10-inch round carrier with a cover holds a standard cake, protects the icing from knocks and dust, and gives you something to carry it by — instead of a plate balanced on a car seat with a tea towel over it. It suits home bakers taking a cake to a party, and it is a working item for cake shops and bakeries that need to package and hand over a finished cake presentably. The cover also doubles as short-term storage on a counter, keeping a cut cake fresh and out of reach of insects between servings.

Buying guide
Measure your cake tin: a 10-inch carrier takes a standard 8 or 9-inch cake with room for icing and decoration around the edge, but a cake baked to exactly 10 inches will not fit once decorated. Chill a buttercream or cream-topped cake before covering, so the icing sets and does not smear against the lid in transit. Carry it flat on a car floor rather than on a seat, which tilts. Wash by hand in warm water and avoid stacking heavy items on the cover, since a cracked lid is a carrier ruined. Let it dry fully before storing.
How it compares
Against a plate and foil, a fitted carrier protects decoration and makes the cake liftable. Against a cardboard box, plastic is reusable and rigid. For tiered or very tall cakes, a taller dome carrier is needed — this suits standard single-layer and layered rounds.
