I am in the military stationed in england, and have ended up baking the cake for my squadrons christmas party. The cake has to be made in my home, and I have no idea how to get it to the Enlisted Club where the party is. I'm afraid I'm going to ruin it on the drive!
Is it tiered or a sheet cake if tiered I assemble on site/ not worth the stress and each cake is placed in the car on non slip available for a £ at the pound shop.Goodluck.....Need more info really. Plus drive slowly... When I take my cake all the flowers are placed in foam chips and assembled on site...I always take my cakes myself..... two much work goes into each one and no time to replace although big flowers I make an extra JUST IN CASE
Lol, it is 2 sheet cake assembled from several smaller cakes, aprox 22x39". And placed on top is a smaller ginger bread house/type replica of the Complex my squadron works out of. I'm also doing a fondant bow and American Flag, should I wait to put these on till I get there? I usually just do cakes for friends and family, and I really don't want to mess this one up. As to getting Trans to help, thats pretty difficult, and due to my job, if I threatened to blow up on them they might take it seriously. Thanks for taking the time to respond, and I'll definately be looking for that non-slip stuff. 
This past October I transported a fondant covered wedding cake 300 miles to it's final destination. I placed the 8" and 10" tiers in cake carries with a small piece of non-skid pad underneath the cake. The 12" tier was placed in a 14"X 2" cake pan again with a small piece of non-skid pad under the cake then this cake was covered with plastic wrap. I then placed the tiers separately in the trunk of my mini-van on top of a large piece of non-skid pad (I used the kind purchased to keep carpets from slipping). Finally, I tucked bubble wrap in between any spaces remaining between the cakes. The cakes arrived fully intact! Note: You can usually purchase the non-skid pad cut to size at a hardware store (here I go to Lowes or Home Depot). They should have a big roll in the back near the carpets. It is much cheaper if you purchase this way.
