Hello there! I have a order in March to fill for a smash cake. I've made larger cakes and sold, typically 9 inch 3-layer cakes that fit perfectly into a 10x10x6 cake box. What size box do I use for a small cake, 6 inch 3-layer?

just depends on how big the bottom board is -- I like a bottom board to be 4" larger than the cake -- two inches of board all the way around -- so for a 6" cake i'd use a 10" box

I guess I was planning on using an 8 inch board and just assumed it'd be swimming in such a big box. But I guess even if my 8 inch board slid around in the 10 inch box, the cake would not hit the sides at all.

If possible, always use the same size box and board to avoid any movement in the box. So if you're planning on using an 8 inch box (I personaly would use this size too, my preference) go for an 8 inch box.

A 6”  cake on an 8” board goes in an 8” box   As the others have said match the board and box sizes
