Planning Your Wedding Cake Pickup

A little planning makes cake pickup easier. Choose who will collect the cake and share the pickup and venue details with them in advance. They should know where the cake will be placed when they arrive and who can help carry it.

Prepare the journey

  • Clear a flat area in the vehicle before pickup. A sloping passenger seat can leave the cake tilted.
  • Make space around the cake box and keep other items from sliding into it. Do not stack anything on top.
  • Allow enough travel time to drive steadily and take turns gently.
  • Arrange help for loading and unloading, especially for a larger cake.

Confirm the details for your cake

Transport, storage, and setup needs depend on the cake. Discuss your journey and venue when you inquire, and follow the instructions provided for your order. Ask about anything you are unsure of before pickup, including who will handle any final setup.
