Once a cake leaves the shop, the final challenge is getting it home safely.

One strong tilt in the car can affect the finish and decorations.

1. Keep the box flat

A flat car floor is often more stable than a soft, sloped seat.

2. Secure the box without crushing it

Use a non-slip mat, clean towels or stable bags around the box to reduce sliding.

3. Keep the car cool

Use air conditioning when possible and avoid hot trunks, direct sunlight and long waiting periods in a parked vehicle.

4. Refrigerate soon after arriving

Once home, put the cake in the refrigerator first.

5. Motorcycle transport needs extra care

Motorcycles are more affected by uneven roads, braking, leaning and heat. Large or tall cakes may need a more suitable transport method.

FAQ: Can I put a cake on the passenger seat?

If the seat is noticeably angled, it is not ideal. A flat car floor is usually safer.
