Learn how to transport a tiered wedding cake safely to the wedding venue

”Want to learn how to transport a tiered wedding cake? ”

Ever wondered how really big and tall wedding cakes are transported from the bakeries to the wedding halls?

Have you ever thought how you are going to transport your first multi tiered wedding cake to your customer’s wedding hall?


Let me explain to you the best ways of how to transport a tiered wedding cake without actually owning a special purpose vehicle or extra tall cake boxes and still deliver a delicately decorated wedding cake in one piece, without any accidents and glitches.


Here are some interesting and useful tips when it comes to transporting tiered cakes………

• Never assemble a tiered cake until you reach the wedding hall or wedding venue. Transport each tier on its own, either in a cake pan, a cake box or place directly on a non-slip mat. If you try to transport an assembled tiered cake, let me warn you……your cake stands a high risk of falling apart due to the movement of your vehicle while driving. Don’t take the risk. Pack each cake separately and assemble them only when you reach the wedding hall.

• Find out the distance to the wedding hall. Allocate at least 3 to 4 hours before the wedding for you to reach the wedding hall so that you will have enough time to assemble the wedding cake on time before guests start arriving for the wedding.

• Drive your vehicle slowly and try avoiding sudden jerks or brakes or else your cakes will be damaged. To avoid the cake from sudden jerks, place the cakes on non-slip mats. These mats can avoid your cakes from moving as a result of your vehicle movements.

• Once you reach the place, start assembling the cake. Always make sure that you bring all your cake decorating tools with you in a tool caddy and remember to also bring extra cake icing (the same type you used for the cake). Always bring extra flowers, if you are using any, (be it fresh flowers, gumpaste flowers or royal icing/butter icing flowers) to replace any broken or damaged ones on the cake.

• When you have finished assembling the cake , be sure to inform the event manager at the wedding hall of the wedding cake before you leave the wedding hall to make sure the cake is well taken care of and not knocked down by staff who do the table and chair arrangement in the wedding hall.

• Always bring a camera with you and take a photo of the cake before you leave the wedding hall, just in case someone knocks down your cake while you are gone and blames it on you. At least with the photo, you can tell your customer that at the time you delivered the cake and left the wedding hall, the cake was in good condition.
