Does anyone know how to ship a decorated cake. I had a customer call me from MO. and they want me to ship a birthday and I have no earthly idea of how to do that. I was thinking of decorating and then freezing it and putting it on dry ice to trasport and ship overnight to customer.
Can anyone help me??
i really have no idea. but ups or fedex might be able to give u some ideas
I hope you get a response on this because I have a friend who loves my cakes and she just moved from TX to NY! She keeps saying how she wants me to send her a cake. I thought about sending her something for Christmas but I had no idea how that would work!! Even though one of the shipping companies could probably tell you whether or not they ship perishable goods, I would really like to hear some tips as well, packaging, etc.
Let's hope we get some answers!
A few years ago a friend shipped me a lemon pound cake that she is famous for however it did not have icing etc on it so that part might be the hardpart! She did wrap it verrrrry well in saran wrap then froze it and boxed it and mailed it priority-I got it 2 days later and it was very fresh. Again, that was a pound cake I am sure that will make a difference. I wonder if you froze it and put it in a cake container then in a box if that would help-my fear would be that they would tip it etc and it would ruin the decorations. I know places like Swiss Colony have decorated Christmas logs, etc but I don't know how they pack and ship them...hopefully UPS or FEDEX could explain the best way-...good luck!
Be very careful if you ship by UPS, here lately they seem not to care about handling your packages carefully. They deliver them crushed and beat up.
