Hi All,
My aunt and I are making a two tiered cake for my uncle's birthday party this weekend. The venue is about an hour and 10 minutes away from us and we will be traveling in a small honda with no floor space in the back seat. We're trying to think of the best way to transport, seeing how the cake would have to go in the trunk. Do we transport it stacked, or transport it seperate and assemble there? Any ideas, experiences or advice would be helpful.
TIA!!!
How warm is it going to be where you are?
Trunks aren't air conditioned so unless it's going to be 60 and overcast I wouldn't even consider transporting in a trunk.
If you are going to transport in the trunk I'd do them seperate and stack when I got there, that way you can fix the melting icing if that's a problem.
Didn't even think about the melting factor...good call. You probably just saved us from a HUGE disaster.
Unfortunately, no. We had originally planned on bringing the SUV, but that will be unavailable to us.
Is the honda the kind where there is a way to fold down the backseat for trunk access? This would allow air circulation.
How well does your icing crust? (maybe I should confirm if this is BC or not, first?). I transported a wedding cake 5 hours for my nephew and it had zero problems. I run my a/c at normal.... I turn on the air after I've loaded the vehicle and right before I put it in drive and pull away from the kitchen. No "pre-cooling". Never had a melting problem.
Thanks for all of the ideas! I think we'll be able to get a better handle on it now!
you can also, if possible, place your cake boxes , wrap them in seran wrap to keep them dry...then place them into styro coolers and pack some of that blue ice around the boxes to keep the cake cool.
You can also, throw the cakes in the freezer overnight, giving them that hour and then some to thaw.
If the cake is going to be displayed for another hour or so, that is how I would do it.
