9×13 Cakes Are Great. But Not on the Counter.

You want to leave those special-for-Yom Tov sweets available on the counter for your family and guests. But you don’t want those tins hanging around. There’s another option!

Covered trays and cake plates keep your food fresh, while allowing everyone to enjoy anytime. Some of these options are even practical for everyday use (i.e. those platters of cut fruits and veggies that we bring out after school and put back in the fridge), and some are extra special, just for Shabbos and Yom Tov. 

There’s a covered tray or cake plate that’s perfect for the way you host (or giftable for your hostess!) below.

    Was just thinking about this! But, which one is guaranteed to stay fresh? My cakes always dry out in these trays…

      Agreed… I’d love some airtight options.

    I use this for cake every shabbos. It’s not as aesthetic as the other ones but works great for a cake variety. You can rewash and reuse as well.
    Amazon: Shellwei Extra Large Charcuterie Board with Lid, 10 Pack, White. The Sectional one is great.
