I have a wedding cake tommorow & I'm actually invited as well. I usually construct my cakes on site. My question is could I travel with this cake finished? It's 4 tiers 6 round, 8 square, 12 round, & 14 square. Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks

I have travelled with a constructed cake about this size, and had no problems. I put more dowels in than I would normally, and then one through all the layers for more support. It arrived unscathed and in just as good of a condition as it left my place.

What's your support system? If you're using SPS you can travel with whatever you can lift.

I usually do 4-5 dowl rods in each cake on a plywood decorated board.

The only time I travel with a cake stacked is if it is in my CAKE SAFE. Otherwise I travel with them seperatly.

I have only made 2 wedding cakes and traveled over some pretty bumpy, hilly roads to get to the location. Both cakes were 4 tier. I use the sfss, with a dowel down the center through all tiers. Both cakes traveled with no problems.

Hold a cake? ABSOLUTELY not. That's asking for trouble. Non-skid is the answer.
