Cake Handling and Cake Transport Instructions 

The following cake handling and cake transport will ensure your cake reaches its  destination unharmed:

 • If the cake or baked goods are put in a bag, keep them level in the bottom of  the bag. Don’t tip the box or bag on its side and hold it steady.  

• Only carry one bag at a time, as carrying multiple bags in one hand is likely to  make the boxes tilt.  

• Only put one cake box in each bag, as stacking them will cause the  underneath box to be squashed and the decoration may get damaged.  

• If carrying a cake box in your arms, hold the box from underneath and keep  it level. Avoid tilting the box or holding it by the sides, as this may cause the  cake to slide or squash.  

• If transporting a cake in the car, place it in the boot or the passenger  footwell, as these surfaces are the most level. Don’t put it on the passenger  seat.  • Keep the air conditioning on in the car whilst the cake is being transported to  prevent the icing from melting. The air con will act like a fridge.  

• Keep journey times to a minimum (ideally under 30 minutes) to avoid the cake  warming up and the icing or buttercream melting.  

• Avoid bumpy car journeys if possible – take main roads and not country lanes –  to keep the cake level and stable throughout transportation.  Thank you so much for ordering your cake from us from Shortcake Bakery
