Probably if they were really dry... but the more heat and humidity, the more problems with condensation and therefore wilting. You are going to have to enclose the cake in a box and wrap with saran before letting it thaw anyway... and that will help hold the chill in as is... For only a 45 min drive I would recommend boxing and wrapping like that and putting the cake in the fridge over night with the temp turned down. By the time you get there, it should be good. I wonder if the frozen cake will thaw in time? (stacked cakes hold the chill very well)

Yes my flowers are really dry. thats a good idea of turning down the fridge temp. Did you mean wrap the box in plastic? I don't want to wrap the cake all decorated it would ruin the border. Thanks for your help.

Yes cake in box, box in plastic. If it is chilled at all, there will be condensation as it warms and you want that on the outside of the plastic, not the cake.
