• The safest place is on the front passenger-side floorboard, where the box can sit flat and level.

• Make sure there is nothing sitting on the passenger seat that may slide off and damage the box.

• Avoid placing the box on a slanted seat, or anywhere it can slide or tip over.

• Keep the cake level at all times, and avoid tilting or swinging it while walking.

• Transport your order in an air-conditioned vehicle whenever possible.

• Turn the A/C on before loading your order, and direct the airflow toward the floorboard to help keep the order cool throughout the drive.

• Cakesicles are more temperature tolerant but still keep cool and out of direct sunlight.

• Drive smoothly and allow extra stopping distance.

• Avoid sudden braking, quick acceleration, sharp turns, and rough roads whenever possible.

• It's best to make your order pickup your last stop before heading home. This way you can promptly refrigerate it after pickup.

• Avoid leaving your order in a parked car, even for a few minutes. Temperatures can rise very quickly, especially in warmer months, causing your order to melt.

What if I have a long drive to pick up my order?

No problem! Before arriving, turn your vehicle's air conditioning on so the cabin is cool when you load your order. Drive directly home and immediately store your order in the fridge.

What if I have a long drive to my venue?

Keep your order refrigerated until you're ready to leave. Before loading your order, cool your vehicle with the air conditioning, then transport it directly to your venue. Once you arrive, place the order into the fridge until displaying it.

• For extended drives (especially over an hour), a cooler is necessary.

• Choose a cooler large enough for the entire cake box to sit inside without squeezing the sides.

• Transfer your order directly from the fridge to your cooler.

• Place ice packs around the box—not directly on top of it—and keep the cooler closed as much as possible to maintain a cool temperature.

• If your order is too big for a cooler, keeping your car cool, and your cake hidden from direct sunlight will help. However, for quality and safety reasons, it is not recommended to travel more than a couple hours without your order being chilled in a cooler.

• Yes and no.

• Cakesicles are more temperature-tolerant than buttercream products and don't require refrigeration during normal transport. However, they should still be kept cool and out of direct sunlight, as the chocolate coating can soften or melt in warm temperatures.
