I'm making a baby shower cake for Saturday that is supposed to match an invitation. It will be a 6-inch round present cake on top of a 10 inch square present cake, and then to one side will be a cake that looks like a gift bag. The gift bag cake will be covered in fondant. Can I cover it in fondant and then move it onto the board after I decorate the other two cakes? Will it fall apart? And if it is possible to move it, do I need to have it on a separate cake board?

I would think the cake would need some stability under it.

But IHATEFONDANT.. ..so hopefully someone that likes it will tell you.

I would put the gift bag cake on a seperate board, then transport to the main board with the other cakes. You may have to center dowel the gift bag to the main board, in order for the customer to move the cake. You could also hot glue the gift bag cake board to the main board to help in the board sliding.

I would put it on it's own board, but if it is small enough and you have a set of cake lifters it would be possible.

I covered the ball separatly on the cake I did with blocks, books and a ball - and I moved that to the board, plus the large block separately, wasn't too bad.

Thanks for all the replies. Sweet Results, I just saw the cake that you were talking about in your album. Way to think out of the box! Congratulations, it's wonderful.
