Here are some rules of thumb for the most popular types of cake.
Layer Cakes
Freeze yourlayer cakebefore shipping.
Stiffer icing is preferable where possible.
Securely wrapped in plastic wrap, then again in aluminum foil.
Cheesecakes
Cupcakes
Place cupcakes inside a box specially designed for these treats.
Space the cakes inside each of the inserts.
The stick should reach the box’s top when closed to avoid damage.
The cake needs to be secure, so it can’t move around during transit.
Consider purchasing insulated bags designed to help keep foods cold.
Seal Boxes Correctly
Seal the box with high-quality shipping tape.
Tape the seams and smooth wrinkles during placement.
The shipping box should be air-tight to help preserve the cake, keeping it fresh.
You should also add an arrow indicating which direction is upright or the top of the box.
