I am making a wedding cake with a friend and need some help. I want to fair and share the work. It will be a 3 layer cake, fondant covered. I'm thinking of baking at my house and decorating at hers. (It's 50 minutes away, the reception is 5 minutes from her house.) I have most of the tools needed so if we bake the cakes and frost them should we cover them with fondant and then transport them to her house to finish? Do you let the fondant settle before dowling it. I was thinking we could stack them at her house then finish decorating them there? Does this sound feasible?

Why tear up 3 different work areas? You can transport the cake already finished using dowels (including a center one).

I'm thinking that I would have to bring a lot of equipment with me. If we did it all at her house.

I would really like to bake the cakes at my house (I have all the pans). Fill them and crumb coat them. Then bring them to her house for the remainder of the work.

She would like to do everything at her house. Which I understand her reasoning as it is very close to the reception but that means bring a whole bunch of supplies with me.

then i would do that.. at least the cakes would have time to settle more, and you will not have to worry about anything ... go with that.. and good luck!!!! you be fine!!
