I have a wedding cake that i an doing for a friend. I live in New York. The wedding is in Atlanta in August. I figured that the best way to transport the cake is to bake it in NY and wrap it 2x in plastic wrap. I was going to bring all of the fillings in containers with me. Fill the cake ice it decorate while I am down there. I need some suggestions on how i should do this or even if the method i am choosing to do is the right one let me know. HOW SHOULD I TRANSPORT THE CAKE AND THE THINGS TO GO WITH IT
I think I would wrap and freeze the layers and take them out when you are ready to leave, that way there is less chance of something to go wrong. I would just use plastic containers to put my frostings and fillings in. Just make sure you find a cake supply store close by, just in case you forget something!
Belle,
I don't know if this will work if you are flying with all of the restrictions now...but...this is how I brought a bunch of Louisiana seafood to Hawaii when I went years ago...
If you are driving, then I would double wrap everything in plastic and foil (freezer bags wouldn't hurt) and freeze it hard. Buy a cheap styrofoam cooler chest and right before you are leaving pack it - ice, food, and then more ice. Silicon caulk it closed. When you reach your destination, disassemble...lol 
Who cares...it's a $2.00 ice chest...
Good luck!

I am faced with a very similar delima. The ice chest idea is great as long as everything stays frozen. If the layers thaw I'm afraid the ones on the bottom will be smashed. I am facing an 8-10 trip with mine. I wonder how long they will stay frozen.
Put the cakes on top, and use blue ice packs closest to them. They just have to stay cold.
Are you driving?
I guess I would be a little afraid of the zillion degree heat in your trunk.
I know that floorboards of vehicles can be REALLY hot (I had warped candy I had so carefully made once because of that), but here is a general transporation idea I can not take credit for. I read it on another forum a while back and it might work if you had a van or some other large vehicle:
Buy one of those under the bed storage containers. Put down no skid mats inside. Place your cakes in that (I think she actually didn't even box them...but I don't think I would recommend that!). If the floor isn't too hot, the cakes would be in a very sturdy container, staying put.
Really...the most important part was...
Seal the styrofoam cooler with silacon caulk... It is a closed environment where no cold can escape...
Good luck,
Pat
