I don't understand what you mean?? I have done it several times. I made sure it was a more dense decorated cake, wrapped it in saran wrap (tightly) and froze. When I was ready to take it to UPS, I put it in a box surrounded by crushed news paper so it's tightly packed with minimal wiggle room, stuffed it with packing p-nuts and shipped it off. They arrived in near perfect condition via UPS OVERNIGHT with the EARLY before 12noon delivery. Maybe you mean you coudn't find anyone to pack it up for you? I have done this for years from Cali to Chicago without fail. Good luck OP.

I have shipped cakes to my family. It works. Bake a solid-dense type cake, ice in BC, cover in MMF, MFF, or RBC, pack carefully. Place whole box in fridge overnight to set. Ship direct from the USPS overnight delivery. Don't forget to pack something to cover the "hole" your dowel will make, too. icon_wink.gif

I swear we need to make a Shipping Your Cake sticky in the How To forum icon_lol.gif

thumbs_up.gif Hhhmm...ok. I wonder why I have never had that issue?? The lady at the Post Office was the first person who told me how to pack and ship a cake a few years ago! I guess I have been extremely luck!! icon_smile.gif
