What a square cake box is for
A one-piece clamshell: tray and lid on the same blank, hinged along their back walls, with a gusset closing every corner and a double tuck on the front that drops into a slot in the lid. There is no separate lid to lose, no glue to wait for, and nothing to assemble beyond folding it up.
The lid is the whole design. A cake box is carried flat, set down flat and photographed flat, so the top panel is the only face that reliably gets seen. Use the four shallow side walls for the bakery name and any handling note, and keep the tuck area clear of detail because it folds out of sight.
One useful thing about this blank: the knife draws the same sheet whether you print it on 200 gsm or on B-flute, so you can order a light version for a slice and a heavy one for a whole gateau without redrawing anything. Bakeries, patisseries, supermarket cake counters and celebration-cake makers are the buyers.
Size it to the cake plus clearance, not to the cake. Icing, a dome, a cake board underneath and a few millimetres of air all have to fit, and a box the same height as the gateau will destroy it when the lid comes down. Work out the tallest point of the finished cake, add the board, and add clearance on top of that before choosing the height.
