Tips on How To Transport Cake
Refrigerate your cake before shipping. I will put it in the fridge overnight or in the refrigerator for a few hours before putting it in the car. Hard cakes have fewer cakes than freshly baked cakes and can handle more bumps and turns.
Of course, there is always the choice of cake carrier. If this is the shipping method of your choice, please plan ahead because the cake needs to be placed at a certain height of the box. One problem I encountered was that there was only a double-layer cake. The upper doll was squeezed on the cake carrier. If you know that you like pipes and decorations, you can find extra high cake carriers online! I really like this 8 1/2 inch cake server in Gardenia Fire!
Many people use their cake boxes, which is a good idea for a long journey. My tip is to make sure that the boxes are big enough to line up the boxes with box liners and don't forget what's inside the box! A good trick is to put a yoga mat under the box.
My favorite trick is to put the cake in a spring pot. This applies to cakes on a plate or cake. I got my 12-inch round spring pot, put the cake inside, and then put the spring rack on the shelf and put it on the flat surface inside my car. (Usually, the back or the floor, the seat is too curved) When you get to the event, just carry the spring pot and remove the outer edge! This is more than I can count.
Quick Note: Cakes are best for traveling in a cool environment, so if you travel by coach, you can bundle them extra. If your room temperature is too high, the frost may melt and slide down the cake. If you choose the box method, you can also place ice packs around the bottom of the box.
If you can, bring a "repair kit." Extra frosting, use of pipe tips, small offset squeegee or any tool used when decorating the cake. If you have any cracks or bulges, they can be easily repaired!
