Anyone ever ship a cake? Any idea who I would use to do it?

wow good question not sure here is a bump to help you out good luck

No way.

Only way I would ship a cake would be to go with it and hold it.

I'm interested also. Not sure I'd actually ship one, but I'd just like to know how they convince UPS and the Post Office not to turn the box upside down!

A lot of people want to ship my cakes during the holiday season but I have to tell them no. I know for a fact that my favorite cake at the Olive Garden (the black tie chocolate mousse cake) is shipped frozen because I bought a whole one and was told that it was shipped that way but they won't tell me who they use. I doubt it is UPS or any of the other well known carriers. Anyone have any ideas.

I have never shipped a cake but why couldn't you use food grade Styrofoam shipping boxes? I found a link they specify that it is used for cheesecake but depending on the dimensions of your cake you could probably use it for a regular cake as well. What do you think?
