Thanks for the tip, the foam will really help to hold them better!
Luz I.> my cousin that just started doing cakes about 4yrs ago,has a box with foam in it ,she uses...hers works good......good luck!
Oh, Cheryl for sure you´ve had some nervousness going on all of your deliveries, with all those bumps on the way, and the weather that doesn´t help sometimes, and you should get that sign of "cakes on board", sounds lovely, for sure I will want one too LOL, and for 40 years of delivering cakes and far away, you have done a great job with almost NO LOSS. I´ve been delivering for only 3 years no loss yet, thank God! But I´m thinking of making a box (kind of) to hold the cakes better, I´ve have had that on mind.
Luz I.> I get nervous some,mainly at this one hall at Kovar,about 10 miles out in the middle of a cow pasture,it's S.P.T.J. hall,looks like a hugh old white barn,no air condition,cows sprinkled in the pastures next to it,hugh wooden shuttered window that they open{no screens}....I worry about the temp there sometimes!! Any ways its down this long narrow semi paved bumpy road {last 5 miles},I have to put the husband in the back of my SUV,to watch and hold the cakes,and drive about 2 miles a hour,and dodge ruts.....thing is ,it's where everyone has their weddings ,or receptions....so as we are delivering,there is always a bunch wanting to go around us.HA!!!! I am making a special piece to go into my receiver hitch ,that will hold a wooden craved sign saying " Cakes on board". Nervous always going there.....LOL!!!!After 40 yrs of cake delivery...only lost 1{{{ repaired it back at home tho}}} ,have had about 15 fix ups to do,and and 1 that slid to side of cake board and ended up crooked.....LOL!!!!!!
I wish I could feel as confident as you when delivering a cake! Although I bring everything I could need to fix them if needed, haven´t had a problem yet, but I get pretty nervous.
We deliver everywhere,and I drive ...husband rides shotgun and watches them or sometimes holds them as I drive,,I rather drive the big ones to their events so if they slide or what ever ,,,Ican fix them.....Plus I love to drive....probably was a truck driver in my life before this one....HA!!!!!!
That is far away, you sent it through a special delivery company, or with someone you trust? Weren´t you affraid of the road? Oh my, I would have been sufferring. Last saturday I had to take my grandson´s b-day cake to the place where the party was going to take place, it is maybe 5 minutes from my house, and my daughter was driving and I was holding the cake. Even though I was taking it in parts because I was going to assemble it at the place, I was sweating, with every move! LOL. I will post the picture tomorrow.
@ Luz I.> Thanks,it was a fast idea themed computer cake,had to get it doen and boxed and sent it on out to San Antonio about 200 miles away from heer.
So cute!
