所要時間を聞く時の決まり文句は
How long does it take to ~です。
「~するのにどれくらい(時間が)かかる」
という意味です。
参考までに「~するのにいくら(お金が)かかる?」は
How much does it cost to~
と言います。
どちらも旅行で良く使う表現ですので
押さえておいてください。
参考になれば幸いです。
When asking these questions, you may explain the reason:
"What's your journey time home? It's just that I need to know as the amount of ice I pack around the cake is dependent on the travel time."
これら質問をするときは、一緒に理由を伝えるといいでしょう。
例:"What's your journey time home? It's just that I need to know as the amount of ice I pack around the cake is dependent on the travel time."
そのままズバリ「家に帰るのに何時間かかりますか」の意味です。
前のアンカーの方が挙げてらっしゃるように、
「ケーキを買って自宅に帰るまでの時間」だとhow longで良い(むしろそちらの方が自然な表現)なのですが、
タイトル文に「何時間」と書いていますので、そのままズバリ直訳のhow many hoursも付けておきました。
ちなみに、
「何分」ならhow many minutes
「何秒」ならhow many seconds
です。
普通にどのくらいと所要時間を聞きたいときはhow longがお勧めですが、もっと厳密に聞きたいときは、【how many 時間の単位】も使ってみて下さい(^^♪
"Do you live far from here?"
"Do you live close/nearby?"

ここからどのくらいの距離に住んでいますか?
Do you live close/nearby?
この近くに住んでますか?
これらの質問はケーキなどを購入したときに保冷剤が必要か聞くときに尋ねられますが、
どちらもここから家に帰るまでにどのくらいかかるのかを尋ねています。"

How long does it normally take to get home?
Oh, around, thirty minutes or so, it doesn't take so long.

I hope this helps.
Have a great day.

I would say: "How long will it take you to get home?" This way, the customer will be able to tell you how many minutes or hours it will be until they arrive at their house.
A more specific way of asking could be to say: "How long will it be until you get the cake home?" This might be better in case the customer is wondering why you want to know how far away they live. Then it would be easy to explain that you would like to help ensure the cake stays fresh for that length of time.
You can simply just ask the customer if they need an ice pack. This way there is no confusion. It might only take them 10 minutes to get home but they may need to stop in another shop before they get home.

Here are three different sentences that you can ask your customers to find out how far or how long it would take them to get home. Notice that the two different style of questions either ask how, "far," you are from something whereas the first example talks about, "how long," or how much time it takes to go home from there.
