The common way of doing it is to design your cheesecake using something like VersaFrame that can then be assembled with COTS fasteners. This means that, when you get to the competition, you simply must drill the holes (if you used any that aren't already drilled, an advantage of the VersaFrame is that it already has many holes that may be used for mounting) and cut the pieces to length before assembling it as desired.
