I am making the barnyard cake for a baby shower... Should I leave the barn and cilo off until I get there or put it on and what would be the best way to make sure it doesnt fall? The road I will be traveling is very curvy... icon_eek.gif
I figured I would use dowels but after my disaster with the computer cake Im hesitant about even doing that... Any tips???

Not sure if I would put it together there, I would dowel it twice as much as normal and just make sure it cant slip or move around, I think that would be fine. Hope that helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think if you would have time to put it together once you got there...then I would wait. 300 miles is a long trip & a lot could happen. but then you'd also have to carry all your supplies w/you you'd need to put it together and finish it up.

if you do decide to put together before...then I'd use twice as many dowels just to be safe!!

I would wait and finish it there, I'm sure your nerves are still raw from the computer incident! If you'll have time and don't mind bringing a few supplies then don't hesitate to finish it there!
