Thank you for this video. I made a large sheet cake for my friend’s birthday. I never made a cake that big & never delivered a cake before yesterday. We also get really hot in CA & she lives 2 hours away in the desert where its even hotter so I was definitely nervous. I followed your suggestion with the car A/C(I had to wear a sweatshirt lol) & the mats under the box…genius idea. I had to hit my brake a little harder than expected when I was cut off & the cake didn’t move! I successfully made the delivery so thank you & keep making these great videos

@evettefernandez2749 Год назад

I live in an extremely hot & humid climate. The method you use can't be used in this heat. I transport cakes by putting them inside a tall, sturdy moving box that is the same size as the drum. I cut off top flaps so box stays open and cut down to of the sides to facilitate sliding cake into box. I roll up a large towel and put it in back lower area of front passenger seat, to level off area where cake will sit. I put box on seat and wrap seat belt around sturdy box. The cake box is now secure and sitting close enough to air conditioning so fondant or buttercream will not be affected by temp difference. Also, I tend to use sharpened wooden dowels going through cake and puncturing drum, to ensure cake tiers don't shift or move during transport. 😀

Thank You for the video! Watching all of your videos is one by one. Just wondering why do you use those boxes ( for shorter cakes) instead of taller boxes? Is this box sturdy enough? ( or you love it’s cover so much :))) I like the idea of using it everywhere

@KarolynsKakes Год назад

I guess I’ve always done it this way so that’s just how I continue to do it because it works for me! I feel like they are sturdy enough to help carry the cake. But they aren’t as stable as thicker cardboard boxes. I’ve never used taller boxes. Is that what you do?

How far is the delivery? If it's warm out, I would definitely keep the air on blast. If the delivery is far, I would possibly add the chocolate balls to the cake once I got to the venue. Sometimes peace of mind is worth it!

Second I put in a large Walmart box, had it on my seat and didn’t use nonslip mats so I see that was another issue! What other reasons would the top fall off

@kimpedersen9159 3 года назад

Is the cake pictured covered in fondant? If so, what's your chilling process there(to prevent sweating)?

@KarolynsKakes 3 года назад

The top tier is iced in buttercream. The bottom tier is decorated with fondant stripes. I refrigerate all of my cakes. I keep my house and car very cold so when I take it out of the fridge, it can gradually come to room temp. So just making sure it's in a cool room really does help prevent it from sweating too much. I hope that helps!

@KarolynsKakes 2 года назад

How long do you have to travel with it? I would most likely put them on when I got there. That eliminates the possibility of them falling off and ruining the cake during transport. Just bring the icing in a bag.

Hello, what buttercream recipe do you use during the warmer season? Thank you.

I use my American Buttercream year round. The shortening in the recipe helps it to hold together. If you want, you can reduce the butter by 1/4 cup and increase the shortening by 1/4 cup. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--x8Tv6Hv6Us.html

Hi, storage, and transport methods for my DIY white velvet cake with buttercream icing CAN NOT skip your advice. Well, I did and Yikes ,all it's icing belted resulting in a sweet pool from the bumps and heat of the car. FYI, I used 1:1 ratio of veg. oil : butter. We ate it anyway. 🤭 For better results , I thank you for Your advise . Did I miss your vlog on how to lightly freeze a buttercream cake? Or should I leave cake uncovered in the frig. to get a desired crusted surface ?

@KarolynsKakes Год назад

Oh no! At least you could still eat it though! 😂 I really don't freeze cakes once they are iced. To get the crust, I just wait about 5-10 minutes and it naturally forms on the icing. (You have to use a crusting icing like American Buttercream. If you use a meringue buttercream, those don't crust.)

Hi Karolyn! I have to deliver a 2 teir cake on Saturday. I bought a cardboard cake carrier so I can put it in the fridge and all. It will have fondant decorations on it and I'm afraid it will get sticky. What do you suggest to do wrap the entire box with plastic wrap { there is no windows in it} while its in the fridge and traveling>? My husband isnt a real slow driver so Im worried the whole time. I will have a center dowel and support rods{wilton purple } and both are filled with either pb filling or raspberry? Do you have any suggestions on storing transporting and what to do at the venue which is a vfw? Please help Thank you

@KarolynsKakes 2 года назад

You have to gradually bring it to room temperature to reduce the chances of condensation. And the car has to have the air conditioning on blast. It may not be cold when you first get in there (make sure you start the car a few minutes early with the air on to give it time to cool down), but it will get colder as you're driving. You must drive with care when you have a cake in there or it could get messed up. And does the VFW have air conditioning? I would call them to make sure.

@ruthnodecker7759 2 года назад

Is the plastic wrap touching the cake in anyway?? As long as the cake stays cold the plastic wrap won't mess up the icing?? Once you give the cake to someone have you ever heard that the cake icing was messed up from the plastic because it's hard to ensure they handle it right once we pass it over. I'm basing these questions on how it looks from here. This wrapping process seems really economical and I would love to try it. Thank you again for all your videos.... watching your videos is my relaxation time.... it's meditative to me🧘🥰

@KarolynsKakes 2 года назад

Hey girl, I use a crusting buttercream, so I never had issues with it sticking to the icing. The only times I've had issues is when I use marshmallows for spider webs or piping gel lettering. The plastic wrap will stick to them and pull it off the cake. (So annoying!!) Here's another way to wrap when you don't want it touching the cake. It doesn't work if it is too tall though. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FuPnDO62E_o.html

@KarolynsKakes 3 года назад

I LOVE deliveries from October - May! (Assuming you live in a cooler environment in those months.) When it's not hot and humid, I will take the cake out of the fridge and put it right into the car. If it's cool out (60 degrees F or less) I don't need the air conditioning. I usually tell people to let their cake come to room temperature for at least 2 hours. But with a naked cake, you'd probably only need an hour or so.

@KarolynsKakes 3 года назад

I generally charge a flat rate of $25 (American dollars), plus $2.25 per mile (one way), plus any tolls. So if it's 30 miles one way with a $5 toll, it will be $25 + $67.50 (which is 30 miles times 2.25) + $5 = $97.50. You can adjust that per mileage rate to your liking.

Please let me know if buttercream frosting works better in sunny weather or any other tips you have to stop the fondant layer from melting and breaking. Thank you

@KarolynsKakes 3 года назад

Hi! When it is hot out, you have to remember that chocolate and butter get soft pretty quickly. So you want to ice a cake in an icing that will hold its shape. I make an American Buttercream that has shortening in it. Shortening melts at a higher temperature so it holds up longer in the heat. I wouldn't ice a cake in an all butter icing or a cream cheese icing, especially in the warm months. What kind of fondant did you use?

@KarolynsKakes 2 года назад

It is possible. However, I would recommend that the cake is prepared to ensure a successful delivery. I would recommend that it is covered in fondant as buttercream cakes can form hairline cracks when they are in the car for too long. And the fondant helps protect it from getting damaged. Also, I would make sure the air conditioning is on blast! And let the customer know that it is a little risky to drive with a cake for that long. Good luck with it!
