Why Professional Cake Carriers Are Worth the Investment

Anyone who’s ever delivered a cake, especially a tall or delicate one, knows that transport is often the most stressful part. It doesn’t matter how beautiful or delicious your cake is if it doesn’t arrive in one piece.

That’s where having a professional cake carrier makes a real difference. While no carrier can stop a cake from sliding if someone slams on the brakes, the right design can give you more control, more consistency, and fewer transport headaches overall.

1. It’s Not Just a Box — It’s Part of Your Workflow

Professional cake transport isn’t about “looking fancy”, it’s about having equipment that fits seamlessly into your process. Chibu carriers are designed to be flat-pack, lightweight, and reusable, so they work with you, not against you.

When time is tight and pressure is high (literally), having something that sets up quickly, packs away easily, and holds its shape matters.

2. You Can’t Control the Road — But You Can Control Your Setup

No cake carrier can fix bad roads or unpredictable drivers, but a well-designed one can minimize shifting, keep the cake stable, and make loading and unloading smoother.

I created Chibu because I was tired of using flimsy, one-use boxes that bent or warped under pressure, especially in unpredictable UK weather. I wanted something that felt solid, held its shape, and looked professional without being bulky or over-engineered.

3. Presentation and Practicality Go Hand in Hand

Whether you're dropping off at a wedding venue or a client’s home, your delivery setup is part of your brand. A premium cake transporter shows that you take your work seriously, and that you’ve thought about the full experience, not just the cake itself.

Chibu carriers are clean, minimal, and built to elevate your presentation while still doing the job.

4. Reusability Saves You Time (and Money)

Cardboard boxes pile up. Plastic containers crack. Disposable packaging often feels like a shortcut, and your clients notice.

With a reusable, sustainable cake carrier like Chibu, you avoid that last-minute scramble to find “something to put the cake in.” You just reach for what works, every time.

5. Sustainable, Thoughtful, and Made for Real Life

Chibu carriers are handmade, using canvas and components chosen for durability and minimal environmental impact. If you care about waste and want your business to reflect those values, switching to a reusable system is a practical step forward.

Final Thoughts

A professional cake carrier won’t solve every delivery challenge, but it will help you feel more prepared, look more polished, and work more efficiently.

If you're ready to upgrade your cake transport game with something that actually fits your needs, Chibu might be the piece you've been missing.

My Social Media Was Hacked! Here’s What I Learned

Imagine waking up one morning, grabbing your phone, and realizing you’re locked out of your social media account. Your profile picture is changed, messages are being sent from your account—but it’s not you. Panic sets in.

This happened to me.

A few months ago, my social media account was hacked. In just a few hours, I lost control of it all. Scammers were pretending to be me, messaging my followers, and posting things I would never say.

I felt helpless, embarrassed, and frustrated—how could this happen to me? As a business owner, I use social media to connect with customers, share updates, and promote my work. Losing control of it was not just inconvenient; it was damaging to my brand and reputation.

It took days of back-and-forth with customer support, password resets, and verifying my identity to finally regain access.

The worst part? It could have been completely prevented with a few simple security steps.

What I Learned & How You Can Protect Yourself

🔒 Use Strong Passwords & a Password Manager – I thought my password was strong enough. It wasn’t. Now, I use a password manager, and I’ll never go back.

🔐 Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) – If I had set this up earlier, the hackers wouldn’t have been able to log in.

📩 Beware of Phishing Emails & Suspicious Links – I later found out I had clicked on a fake link that was supposedly sent by one of my followers making inquiries. Always double-check links before clicking!

📡 Secure Your Wi-Fi & Business Devices – If you run a business, make sure your network is protected and regularly updated.

👥 Limit Access to Your Accounts – If you have a team, ensure only the right people have access to your social media and other sensitive platforms.

Take Action Before It’s Too Late

Cyber threats are real, and they don’t just target big companies. If it happened to me, it can happen to you. Don’t wait until you’re locked out and scrambling for help—secure your accounts now.
