Cake Care, Refrigeration & Safe Vehicle Transport Guide
Step-by-step instructions for transporting multi-layer buttercream celebration cakes safely in Georgia humidity, storing your cake in the refrigerator, and tempering slices to 68°F–72°F before serving.
Golden Rules of Safe Cake Transport & Tempering
Always place your cake box flat on the level front passenger floorboard or flat rear SUV cargo floor with maximum air conditioning running. Never transport a tiered or tall celebration cake on a sloped vehicle seat, in a passenger's lap, or inside an uncooled trunk. Keep refrigerated at 36°F–38°F until 60–90 minutes prior to slicing.
