Good idea about the corrugated cardboard boxes, Jenn123. You probably COULD stack those 2-deep. You just need to really make sure the boxes are fitted tightly together in the trunk and stuff towels, newspaper or anything else you can...

Well, now that I have more information, I'm a lot less nervous than I was! The smaller the topper, the easier the transport will be, plus it's not like you're going on a 4-hour trip to get it there. I think a dowel on each side will be...

I've used Dream Whip and it works. It also tastes very good. Because I live in a very hot and humid climate, I always stabilize my whipped cream, no matter what I use (Bettercreme, Dream Whip, etc.), except for Cool Whip and the...

I would be leery of stacking decorated cakes in regular cake boxes, although I would certainly try to transport the cakes boxed, just to keep them clean. Also, lay in a good supply of something that will prevent skidding to put...

Many recipes for candy clay say you can use the same amount of glucose instead of corn syrup. You might want to try a small batch in the proper proportions to see if this will work for you. I certainly hope so, because I'm planning on...

It will probably take a long time after your surgery - no matter which kind you choose - to get your strength back. I say this as a person who hasn't gone through nearly the stress of breast cancer, but has only had several surgeries (a...
