I made a haunted house using the stand-up house cake pan. I need to bring it to a party and am not sure how to transport it so that the cake does not fall over. It's a 45 minute drive.
I used buttercream icing to kind of "glue" the cake to the board, but it is still a bit wobbly and I am afraid of it falling over.
Any suggestions?!?

Refridgerate it!! Make sure its nice and solid, then place in a box and set on the floor of the car make sure its sitting on a flat surface. Then drive carefully. If it does fall over, it will still be servable because of the box.

The other thing you might want to do, if you have the cake on a cardboard or foam core, place another piece underneith it and sharpe a dowel and drive it down into the board under it. It should go anywhere then.

Either way i would refridgerate it before transport

If it's already wobbling while still on solid ground, it probably won't survive a road trip. (Been there/done that. icon_cry.gif ) Rather than chancing it, I'd push a dowel rod down through the center. Better to be safe than sorry, y'know?

Sit the box on styrofoam and then dowel rod all the way through to the bottom of the foam...make sure the box sits evenly.

Good luck and let us know how you made out.
