I sometimes make big sponge cakes and decorate then and then find none of my cake boxes are tall enough to hold them I probably need something which is 19-20cm deep but the best I can find is 17cm which is never quite enough any ideas on where I might look to find a tall cake tin?

Could you use a cloche on a plate instead... or does it have to be something transportable?

Ideally I want something which I can sit on my lap or in the boot of a car without getting myself covered in icing or loosing icing from the cake when the lid is taken off

Try Lakeland, we had the same problem finding a large/tall /rectangular box, but Lakeland came up trumps.

None of the ones in the lakeland in Cambridge ever seem up to the task, do you have an actual brand?

I saw these in a magazine somewhere, it describes them as extra deep but doesn't say how deep. Might be worth a look though. The diameter is too small for my tins though - only 20cm

Edited to add, aren't cake tins pretty to look at

I only have a big tupperware tubs (incidentally - Morrisons' "bread" tupperware is a 9 litre tub which fits huuuge cakes). If I were the kind of girl that bought things just because they were pretty my credit card would be hovering over these:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ladybird-Yummy-Fruit-Cake-Tin/dp/B001W7VLUI/

(Both too short for this purpose tho' sorry)

They tend to be cardboard and for single layers so not quite so useful but worth looking into

I will try and have a look at the John lewis ones but as many of my cake tins are 18-20cm in diameter I suspect I would have issues with the width
