What is the best ay to level (2) 9x13 cakes?

I have to make a 1/2 sheet cake for a lady on saturday. I have an edible image that needs to be put on top that covers nearly the whole cake. Im afraid that If I don't level them enough, the image will "droop" in the middle where the cakes meet or they will not be level when I 'attempt' to level them. Please someone help me!! Oh, and I don't have any extra money to spend on fancy levelers. Thanks a bunch!! Oh, and does anyone know where I can get a box to fit it fast? Will like Walmart's bakery give me one? There are no bake shops around here..

Update:

Omg.. I feel so smart now.. lol Thank you Tx :-)

    Yes, Walmart or your local grocery store bakery should give, or sell you (for pretty cheap) a box. I would take the two cakes and flip them over so they are upside down side by side and then frost them. If you have any droops anywhere on the cake you can always fill them in with frosting.

    I would suggest that you ice the two cakes as level as possible.

    take the edible image and I do understand that it is edible . This is a suggestion, mount the edible image on a custom piece of cardboard that is very level. Place the cardboard with the edible image, on the top of the cake. It will be very even and level because the cardboard should be firm. Decorate around the cardboard with icing, to make it blend in, and so it doesn't show to be a separate piece.

    When ready to slice the cake remove the edible image as a souvenir gift to the lady.Then you will not have to destroy the image at all when slicing.

    I think this is a smart way of leveling the image and ending up with a souvenir .

    A local bakery might sell you a 1/2 slab sized cake box.

    Just turn the cake upside down on the platter! The bottom of it will be nice and level:) If you have 2 layers; put the tops together in the middle.......

    Polyfilla, a spatula and a carpenters level should do the trick.
