7 Make-Ahead Gâteaux That Travel Well

A cake that travels has to be sturdy, fully cooled, and iced in a way that does not smear in the box. These gâteaux are the ones you can take to a dinner without worrying.

Carrot Cake with Thick Cream Cheese Frosting

The frosting should be stiff enough to hold a swirl. Chill the cake before you move it.

Gingerbread Bundt

A bundt has built-in structure. Wrap it once it is cool and glaze it at the destination if you can.

Coconut Loaf Cake

Loaves slice without collapsing. Coconut keeps the crumb from drying out in the fridge.

Flourless Chocolate Torte

Dense cakes travel better than sponge. Serve with unsweetened cream so each slice is not too rich.
