Good Evening All,
I need a cake that can travel 4-4.5 hrs in a car. This is a birthday cake for my aunt. I know a 3-D cake is out of the question but I was thinking of a maybe a 3-layer round covered in fondant with a mousse filing...since the car will be air conditioned...I guess it will be okay.
I would really like to decorate with buttercream basketweave but this cake is going from Louisiana to Texas so we're talking heat and humidity and more heat.
Any suggestions?
Hi,
In May, I had to take a cake from wayyyyy down south Alabama to Macon, Georgia. It was chocolate cake iced with buttercream. It made it fine with the A/C on!
P.S.: it was a 10" x 3" square cake. I went to Winn Dixie and got one of their sheet cake plastic trays with a cover. It was a very, very tight fit but it worked. I didn't put the cover all the way down; just set it on the bottom tray.
I took a decorated wedding cake on an 8 hr. trip in a bus. We chartered a bus for family members to go to a wedding and I had the cake decorated but not stacked. All the cakes were in boxes and I stowed some in the overhead bins and the biggest were in the back of the bus on the floor. Everything made it! It was a 4 tierd cake plus 2 tierd groom's cake and a rehearsal dinner cake. I put everything together and finished it when we got there. This was NOT in the summer...I would need to rethink traveling in heat and humidity.
