Twins’ Top Tips: Tip 6

Transporting Cakes
During these summer months, we’ve received many a sad cake decorator or customer through the doors of Twins. The cause? A ruined cake.
Transporting cakes is often an afterthought. Yet, poor planning can have disastrous consequences.
We’ve put together a few tips which we consider vital:
- Place your finished cake in a sturdy box with as little room surrounding the board as possible. This will prevent the cake shifting or sliding within the box.
- When transporting stacked cakes (particularly in summer when cakes are softer than normal), please remember that cake boxes must be placed flat. This means in the boot of your car: not on a lap and not on a sloped seat. Even the slightest tipping or slanting of a cake box may result in a tiered cake cracking or collapsing (no matter how well dowelled the cake is).
- Like children, cakes are not made to sit in the car for long periods of time: they too will sweat, soften and suffer!
If you are a cake decorator, please remember to tell your customers how to correctly transport cakes in order to avoid heartache.
If you are one of our customers picking up a cake from our kitchen, please remember to bring a car with suitable boot space. And please clear your boot of anything else which could cause damage to the cake.
