Help!!! Please. Question about transporting cake

Hi,

I really don't know what to do. I finished making my son's birthday cake (cupcake cake), however it's really long (28 inches) and I don't have a box that big to protect it in the car - we're having the party at a place about 45 minutes away. How can I cover it and protect it during that time?

Thanks,

Christine

You can take a box apart and rebend the sides to fit your cake. Staple or tape it back together. It doesn't need a lid unless you are planning on having something fall on it ;-) (or if you let your kids throw things..) To protect from road dust, use plastic wrap. 

I would rather make 1 cake for $150, than 3 for $50 each.

The person who works for nothing will always have plenty to do!

I do guitar cakes quite often that are life size, I never put them in boxes, just the back of my van.

When I deliver cakes that size I don't cover them.  Just make sure the car is clean and nothing will fall on it and damage it, and you will be good to go.
