I would order and buy the cake at the destination

What would you do? A sibling having a wedding an another State assigns you cake duty. This means buying a weddin-ish cake, getting it to an airport, lap flying it for about 2hr, a 2hr train ride, and something more to venue.

Depends on how much I like the soon-to-be sibling in law.
If I like them, if try to find a local place that does wedding cakes and I would try to get there a day or so early to pick it up before wedding.
If I don’t like them, I’d tell them to take a long walk off a short pier.

I did like her before this. The multi -state ask utterly baffled me. It ended up being part a last straw situation.

lol what? Surely you wouldn’t hand carry a wedding cake that far?

I’m not kidding. Peculiar Ex actually did do that.

I would say “no can do”

That seems like an inefficient way to go about it, and inviting disaster. Also freshness.
Why not have a caterer or bakery in the same state deliver it??

Nine colesworth mudcakes covered in canned whipped cream then pour Pauls custard over it.

Whoever came up with this is on either end of the intelligence bell curve, but I really want to try this now

Bugger the weddingish cake. Ask them straight out if there’s a colesworth handy where you can buy a packet of lamingtons before getting to the venue. You won’t have a kitchen, the transport will be extremely anxiety inducing, and you’ve got no idea what facilities are available at destination for assembly/decoration. Not to mention the microbiology aspect of transporting food over such distances. In quantities appropriate for a wedding. This is a bloody thoughtless requirement loaded onto you. Lamingtons, packet lamingtons, is all they deserve.

Bonus. The sister involved was a chef.

It occurs to me that the airline might not let you take a cake on board even on your lap. Nowadays.

What if you tell them it’s your emotional support cake?

They did in the way back when this applies to
