Hello, I just was looking at your blog post about pull apart cupcake cakes and i have a cousin who loves hello kitty and I wanted to make her one similar to the one you posted for her birthday. My question is what size cake board did you use? And is it a size that I can find an appropriate size box to transport it in? I’m never made one of these before and not sure how to transport it.
