I wasn't sure that mailing a whole cake was possible, but it is! In this episode I'll show you all the tricks and tips to shipping a WHOLE cake. I'll give you tips and suggestion on the actual cake itself, the items you need to keep your cake cold, and the correct way to package a box for shipping. Getting a cake in the mail might be the best possible thing to receive ever!

You should ask your local post office clerk when their first dispatch truck goes out and deliver it a little bit before then. My dispatch goes out around 2pm. So if you drop it off 1st thing in the morning it’s gonna sit there until then. Just some Mail tips

My ibf has told me so much about her cakes that she makes for her family. She told me about her nan’s favorite, vanilla filled with salted caramel and how she wishes I could try it. But, we aren’t meeting for 2 and a half years and she lives on almost the other side of the world in England. I sent her this, so now she can send me some of it and I’m so excited!!!

Hi! This will only work for a cake that can ship express (in 2-3 days). I think for shipping international the best way to do it is have her Nan make cake pops or cake balls: I have sent those internationally and they hold their freshness!

Good tip when you suggest taping up the whole box and sealing off all seams. I ordered a pound cake from a Catering company who specializes in pound cakes. The box was not sealed up nor was the cake. It sat on the front porch about an hour after the post office dropped it off. Had ants on the box as well as some inside the box. Nobody wants to order a cake for $50 and have it arrive with Ants. The cake was put inside a plastic bag that also was not sealed..not a ziplock,,only tied off at one end with gift wrapping ribbon which was not enough. Ants got inside. YUK

Hi! I don’t have an after photo included in the episode, but it showed up just fine- the plastic wrap was pretty snug on the cake but with the design it didn’t matter. I’ve sent many cakes this way with very little trouble. One thing I’ve noticed during COVID is the mail is taking much longer so I would be cautious sending cakes in the summers - cookies are a much safer bet. ❤️

Hi Sarah. I always use the USPS flat rate large box ($20) when shipping an 8 inch 3 layer cake. One caveat I have been letting people know is that with COVID, shipping is taking longer. I wouldn't recommend shipping a cake during summer while shipping has been delayed. I have had great success shipping cake pops and cookies/brownies during COVID. Hope that helps!

One thing that is really important is that USPS is delayed on their flat rate boxes due to COVID which has caused a problem with keeping cakes cold.

Hi! I would still use the insulated bags with the ice packs, but I have had a lot of issues with delayed shipping due to Covid. Most of my packages are taking 5-6 days to get to their destination, so I’m afraid the frosting would still melt given the extended shipping times. I’m recommending people send cake pops/cake bites during this time (I’ve sent lots of batches across county during Covid). They stay fresh and don’t melt because of the high melting point of candy melts. Hope that helps!

Hi! Yes, if you are shipping cupcakes in the summer the same technique will work. I also have an episode on how to ship cupcakes if that's helpful. I do want to mention that USPS flat rate boxes are taking longer than two days during COVID, which messes with the cake/cupcakes staying frozen. I have been sending a lot of cake pops this summer instead as a safe bet since the melting wafers have a higher melting point they don't melt!

If you wanted the box liners, depending on the size of your cake you would want to get the liner that would fit - for this 8 inch cake on a ten inch cake board, I would do the 12x12x5 which fit the large rate flat box.

I’m glad you found the tutorial helpful! My recommendation would be to put the cake in the fridge if they are going to eat it in the next day or so to firm everything back up (plastic wrap on, it won’t hurt anything). Bring it to room temp before eating by sitting on the counter for an hour or so. If they are waiting to eat it, freeze it and then thaw in fridge overnight before eating. A Bundt cake should hold up well- it’s best to ship cakes in colder months for sure! It won’t arrive perfect, but definitely in one piece and fine to eat! It’s pretty special to get a whole cake in the mail ❤️ good luck!

Hi! I would not recommend using any other frosting besides American buttercream because AMC crusts and other types of frostings stay soft ❤️

Hello how tall was your cake? I plan shift one in January but want to know how tall I should make it.

Hi! I’m not sure exactly how many inches but it was a three layer cake (I usually do four layers so a little shorter to fit in the box) 😊

Hi! I believe international shipping might take a bit longer? If it already really cold weather, you might be okay to send it if it’ll get there in 3-4 days? I’m not super sure though!

Hi! This went to my brother and niece for their shared bday so it was a gift and it made it just fine, and it was August ❤️ shipping in cooler weather means the cake is more likely to hold up really well!

You’re welcome! Something that has come up is that there has been a lot of delayed shipping with COVID, so I worry about shipping a cake right now with most deliveries taking longer than 2 days 😔

The box will definitely get tossed around, even with fragile and “this side up” stickers...if it’s packed correctly with lots of packing paper/bubble wrap it will be fine. Just be sure the design on the outside is forgiving to dings it might get - anything textured or covered with sprinkles.

Your scotch taping broke my speakers. Mix down your audio. Also your back story isnt relevant to shipping a cake. Pretty cake though :)
