Collecting and transporting a cake safely
A stable, cool and level journey helps protect a finished cake after it leaves the bakery.
Keep the cake level
Transport the cake on a flat, stable surface rather than on a sloped car seat. Avoid sudden braking and sharp turns.
Control heat
Warm vehicles can soften frosting and decorations quickly. Use air conditioning where possible and keep the cake away from direct sunlight.
Plan the journey
Go directly from collection to the destination where possible. Extra stops increase the time the cake spends in an uncontrolled environment.
Follow product-specific instructions
Some fillings, decorations and finishes need stricter temperature control than others. Follow any storage or transport advice given with your specific order.
