Tip Tuesday: Cake Pick Up Guidelines

            Any time you pick up a cake, it is always a good idea to have a large FLAT area in your vehicle cleared and dedicated for transporting your cake. At your request most bakeries will be happy to assist you in carrying out your cake if a place is prepared. Putting cakes on people’s laps or on the seat of your car is not usually recommend(as they typically are not flat surfaces).  The floor of your car is often the BEST place for putting a cake. For 3+ tiered cakes or 14”+ base cake, you should make arrangements to pick up your cake in an SUV or Van. (Most 1 & 2-tiered cakes fit on the passenger side floor).

If possible, bring a friend to help. Drive SLOW(take turns slow!), and keep your car COLD. Storage of your cake should be in a cool area(not refrigerated in most cases) out of direct sunlight until serving. Cake and icing are fragile: speeding, going over bumps, slamming on breaks, wobbly tables, leaving your cake in a hot car/home can cause damage.
