I need these as well. I would love to hear from someone that used them. I was maybe going to ask my venue. They said absolutely boxes over bags because the bags get soggy. I might ask them about shape/size as well.
I haven't used any of this but my friend regularly boxes up home made desserts for holidays as gifts and here's what she said.
Size and shape are most important. What is the shape of your cake? If it's round and you will be giving pie slices make sure they are cut to the size of the box, preferabble with about a half inch space on the sides. If your cake has layers VERY carefully pick so that you will have at least 1/2 inch top space especially if you have decorations on some pieces. If it is a pie slice and there are decorations on the side it needs 1/2 inch on that side too.Square piece cakes are easier but less pretty however if you have a sheet or square cake it's a must.
I noticed two of them have a height of 2" take a look at how small that is, REALLY. I like the idea, but she says that you have to be very careful with your boxes. She makes her cakes to accomodate her boxes which, with a wedding cake, you don't want to do. Goodluck and best wishes!
