For family meals and holidays, my grandma would often bring a dessert, along with her relish tray. It would always come in a large Regal Ware aluminum cake carrier, making whatever was inside even more impressive. When I saw that serving piece, I knew something good was inside.
Read on for a roundup of similar carriers available on eBay.
My grandma has since given me her cake carrier, and I love its cool vintage lines. I use it as much as I can, and it really does add a little pizazz to even the simplest desserts.
There are a lot of vintage cake carriers available on eBay. Here are a few that stood out, clockwise from the top-right:

Cake AND pie carriers? Consider my mind officially blown. Never again will I have to decide whether to bring cake OR pie.

How is that center one vintage? I've seen lots of people using those.
They are cute, but I wonder how practical they are, in terms of washability and weight.

I am always the one to bring dessert, and I think a few of these could help abate the stress of transport!

I have a more modern version of the center plastic one. It's not a cool as the vintage ones, but it is easier to clean and lighter, I bet.
It takes up a lot of space in my small kitchen, but I use it to store other things when it's not in use. It has definitely come in handy transporting baked goods. You can use it for cakes, pies, and cupcakes, among other things I'm sure.
