Once your cake, cupcakes and/or cookies leave Sarah's Baking Co., we are no longer responsible for any damages that occur, in transport or at your final destination.
Here are some tips:
1. Place both hands under the board of your cake to distribute the weight evenly when carrying. The corrugated cake boards can flex and bend if not fully supported and cause damages to the buttercream or fondant.
2. Please be careful not to squeeze the sides of your cake box which could ruin your cake’s pretty buttercream borders.
3. Transport your cake safely.
a. Place cakes in the flattest part of your vehicle: floorboard or SUV flat bed space is best. Your seats are not a good location. Most have some slope to them, and all it takes is a few degrees of slope for damage to occur.
b. Be sure items are not around your cake that could fall or slide into your box.
c. Pets and children are devious…especially when cake is around. It’s hard to resist!
4. Go DIRECTLY to your cake's final destination. Your decorations are made with creamed butter. Every little bump, every little curve, every stop and go affects the solidity of your cake. In my years of delivering, I’ve seen elements slide off, tip off, lean off the cakes while transporting. Warm buttercream can and will slide down the sides of your cake, especially if they have heavy decorations or thick buttercream designs. Reduce the risk by going straight to your destination.
5. Place the cake into the refrigerator for an hour or so upon arrival to firm everything back up again.
6. Be sure your cake is not near a floorboard heater or in direct sunlight. Cakes need to stay below 72 degrees (preferably 65 degrees) to avoid melting. Never leave them in an un-air-conditioned car.
7. When determining the placement of your cake at the event venue, keep it out of direct sunlight and avoid increased temperatures near windows.
8. Chocolate, fondant, and gumpaste decor of your cake should not be refrigerated or frozen for long periods of time. They draw moisture in the cool conditions of the refrigerator, causing condensation and drippiness when you pull them out into the humidity.
9. Cakes that have been hand painted or airbrushed should not be refrigerated. As soon as it comes out, humidity condenses on cold cake, causing food colorings to drip and run.
10. If your party is postponed a couple of days, you can preserve your cake by completely wrapping the boxed cake with cling film/saran wrap and then placing your boxed cake into the refrigerator. (The saran wrap will help reduce condensation later when bringing it back to room temperature.) If the party is postponed longer, you can place your wrapped box into the freezer for about a week. 24 hours before the party, bring the cake to room temperature, but keep the boxed cake wrapped in the cling wrap. This should help reduce condensation.
