Need some advice before I deliver this cake....

Ok - it's the motorcycle cake I've been freaking about for 2 weeks...lol. Well - It's done and ready to go - except for one thing....I put straws down in the sheet cake & cut them flush with the icing....my motorcycle shaped cake is on its own board on top - but it's not sitting flush on the cake, about 1/8 inch above the cake What do I do? Take off the shaped cake and try to cut the straws shorter? UUUGGGHHH!! lol PLEASE HELP! I have to deliver this cake at 3:30pm CST.... Another thing - do you think I should wait and put them together at the location? Or will it transport ok put together? - I have a big box to put it in and am only going about 20 miles from my house.

TIA for any help!!!

Thanks, ladies...that's what I'll do. I'm also gonna put some removable double stick tape in the bottom of the boxes for a little extra insurance during transport. I've got lots of curves to go thru and a few bumps here and there that I know of...WISH ME LUCK!!! (BTW - this is only the second cake I've done with any real decoration...and the first for someone other than my own kids or other family....sooo nervous!)

Thank you so much!

WHEW!!! Thank the Lord that one's gone!!! lol It made the car trip pretty well - just a few very minor squishes and sags. But I was a good girl & took my bags filled with the 2 colors I used to decorate, so I was able to fix the booboos....If I'd never found CC, I probably never would have thought to do that, simple as it is! lol It's so great to hear about other people's trial & error and experience here...it helps me remember things that I otherwise probably wouldn't.

Earlier I said this was only my second cake with any real decoration...I should have said DETAILED decoration! lol I've made plenty of cakes and frosted them and done very crude shells, etc., but never one with as much detail as this motorcycle. Now - it's lightyears away from most of the cakes on here, imo, but it's a HUGE accomplishment for me!

Unfortunately my digital camera is still broken, but I was able to take some pics with a disposable. Hopefully I'll use up the rest of the roll by tomorrow & be able to get them developed on Monday...So I'll post pics as soon as I can. I still haven't had the time to post the pics from my 3yr old's party 2 wks ago...I'll do that tonight.

Thanks to all of you who answered my panicked posts this week!!
I probably would've lost faith in my ability to finish the cakes I've done the past 2 wks if this place & you wonderful people weren't here!!

And now, I'll go collapse in a heap and sleep for 3 days.......lol
