Decorating By sally27 Updated 31 Jul 2013 , 1:32pm by CakeGeekUk
Hi! I'm making a 12x18 cake for a family baby shower this weekend. I will be filling it with fresh bannana's and strawberries but will be in the car for at least 2 hours getting to the shower. I will be using buttercream frosting. I really prefer to have the cake decorated before I get there. Besides putting in a cake box in the air conditioned car are there any other precautions I should take? My biggest concern is melting. Any suggestions would be really be appreciated! Thanks! Sally
I transported a cake for a 50th anniversary party a couple of years ago. It was a three hour commute. I place the cakes on a thick layer of foam to reduce the friction .
I chilled them well before starting out and they arrived in great shape. Unfortunately, the hotel staff was so impressed by the cake, they placed in on a table under very bright spotlights where the roses promptly began to melt.
Hi Sally, for transporting cakes I always use a non-slip mat which I place under the cake box in the trunk of the car. You can buy these at any home/hardware store for about $5 and you're cake won't budge.
Enjoy the party!
