any tips?? lol.

it is going to be a carved 3d cake in the shape of an owl with gumpaste accents (wings) covered in fondant...

im stressing something chronic about this. its for my sons cousin.. so its sort of family.. but im still very worried...

It will be fine, as long as you have supports in the cake if it is high, and it is well secured to the cake board. Make sure you give the person taking the cake some non-slip shelving material to put under the cake in the boot of the car, and ensure they have their AC on the whole trip. Fuel/food/pee stops should be brief and parked in the shade when the engine has to be turned off.

I drove a 2 tier cake 6 hours in summer in Spain, and the cake arrived better than I did, with all the worrying and all!

My first thought was - OH Gheesss - but as Dayti said, it will be just fine if you use the correct support. Support is the key, so just take a little extra time putting it together.

well my first thought was (you may not like it either)...........

The cake leaves my hands & it's someone else's responsibility, BUT if it's your family going to the party & delivering the cake, well I'd be worried too. That said, I agree with Dayti. With care on the driver's part, the cake should be fine.

thankyou for the tips. =) i think still going to be stressing lol. im in australia, and this will transported in the middle of summer, our days can get to about 42 degrees Celsius. hopefully it wont on transport day though..

Make sure you post pictures!!!
