CAKE TRANSPORTATION
Cakes must be transported cold and eaten at room temperature.
If you elect to pick up your cake from our studio, you will receive a cold cake right out of the fridge.
During the transportation, the car should be kept as cold as possible. Although our cakes are built with support and internal structure,keeping the cake cold during the drive is the best way to ensure no damage to the cake.
Once the cake arrives at its final destination, the cake should sit at room temperature for about 3 hours to ensure that the whole cake is at room temperature at the time it is consumed.

Cakes must be transported flat
The best place for the cake to travel is in the trunk of an SUV type of car. The trunk should be empty so nothing moves and hits the cake during the drive.
If the weather is cold enough you may place a cake in the trunk of a Sedan type of car. This option is not possible in the warmer months because the air conditioner will not reach the cake in the trunk during the drive.
Smaller one-tier cakes can also be transported on the floor in front of the passenger seat.
Don't transport cakes on the seat
If you place your cake on the seat of the car, the cake will not be flat and it will be damaged during transportation. As a last resort, we have had customers put their cakes on the seat and use a jacket or something similar to make the cake somewhat level. We don't recommend this approach and urge people to be prepared to transport their cakes properly when they choose to pick up their cakes.
How about having someone hold the cake in their lap?
This approach is also not the best because the cake will be perfectly flat. But it can be done for short drives with smaller one-tier cakes.
Drive slow, take wide turns, and don't come to sudden stops
Disclaimer:
If you choose to pick up your cake and transport it yourself, we are not liable or responsible for the cake once it has left the bakery. You should prepare your vehicle so it is clean and free of items that could roll or slide into the cake. We do everything in our power to provide a well-structured cake, but please note that cakes are very fragile and break easily, drive carefully and slowly.
