Any tips on delivering in the heat. I will be opening this summer and I am concerned. If I run my van for awhile to cool it down, what good does it do if it takes me 10 min's to load all the cakes? Any creative containers that will keep things cool?
I have a wedding cake going 3 hours away in July!!!
HELP!!
Even if it takes you 10 minutes to load, if you get all of that heat out of your vehicle first, it will help a lot. I know some people pack dry ice into a container, put a barrier, and then put their cakes on top of that.
I delivered a wedding cake last July in 90+ degree weather and high humidity and all I did was turn the AC on high for about 10 min, loaded them up, kept the AC on high and froze my way to the reception. 
Also any shades you can put up to keep the sun off the cakes is great too.
Its already 90+ temperatures here Supposed to be 95F today!
Im not a business owner, just thought I'd chime in because in Arizona I know heat LOL.
I turn the AC on in my SUV, and let it cool for 10 minutes or so, then transport-- most of the time im moving my cakes 30-60 minutes to their destination... never had any issues with the heat.
I know how you feel. My first cake I am delivering will be the end of June in TEXAS and about a 2 1/2 hour trip!!! I expect the temp to be over 100 by then and I am terrified! I am going to try the dry ice and see if it works, but I think I am just going to take my basic iced cake there and finish once I get to the nice cool hotel.
About the dry ice though, I always thought you had to be in a well venelated area to use the dry ice as you can suffocate from the carbon dioxide being released as it melts. This wouldn't matter being in a car with all the windows up for hours at a time?
