TRAVELING WITH CAKE

You always run into this problem, you are throwing a party, and you need to get a cake to the location of the party.

You get the cake made and in your car, so far so good.

You get pulled out of the driveway, and smooth sailing.

Then you hit a bump or get cut off, and the cake slides around a bit.

When you get to the party you notice that the cake has slid around on the platter and is no longer centered.

The next time that you have to make a cake to transport, try this: before placing the first layer of cake onto the platter, place a dab (tablespoon or so) of frosting on to the bottom of the platter.

Then place the first layer on the platter and frost as normal. The frosting will hold the cake in place on the platter.
