This Saturday, August 14, I am delivering a 9" carrot cake with cream
cheese frosting and 4 dozen cupcakes (various flavors) to a wedding
reception on the Cape. It takes around three hours from Boston
driving and I just need to know if the cakes are frozen will they be
thawed out by the time I reach the reception????? Thank you in
advance for all your replies.

They no doubt will be thawed. The cup cakes will probably thaw in about an
hour, less if it is very hot. Unless you plan to be there exactly when the
dessert is being served, they will also be sitting at room temperature after
you deliver them. I would be more concerned that the frosting will melt. I
would reduce or eliminate the butter in the frosting and make it a bit
stiffer than normal. I would consider taking a spatula, and if appropriate,
a pastry bag filled with frosting and equipped with a tip or a coupler in
case you need to make repairs.

One more thougt, maybe too late, but I would worry more about
condensation on the frosting during thawing. I would refrigerate the
boxes to help keep them cold longer or even transfer them from freezer
to frige on Friday night so they are somewhat thawed, but still solid
before leaving.

I know this is late, but I always transport my stuff in one of the boxes we
made out of styrofoam insulation. I have them in a few different sizes up
to big wedding cakes. Just duct tape the pieces together, make one side a
door (I loop a piece of duct tape to make a "handle" to open it) and put it
on a piece of non-slip stuff in the vehicle!
