Mail Order Cakes?

soonersis — Tue, 27 Apr 2021 16:14:16 GMT

I would like to order a cake to send to a friend's memorial service that is out of state this weekend. Anyone have any recommendations as to a specific cake they know is very good?

I have had good luck with My Grandma's. Arrive well packed, freeze well and taste very good. Just like I made years ago.

@soonersis I would most likely send a Grandma's coffee cake - any choice. Those cakes travel well and can be used easily any time of day - and if they receive more food than they can use, those cakes freeze beautifully.

Maybe someone who has used their website recently will chime in or have a better idea.

Google bakeries in the town the memorial service is being held & look for feedback on their cakes...most will deliver to the location on the day you want & you'll know it arrived in time. Sorry for your loss. Best Wishes.

I have used The Kiffle Kitchen and have been very pleased. QVC also sells items from the Kiffle Kitchen on occasion.

They sell individual cookies and delicious pastries. They might be easier to deal with a group of people. No pieces of cake to be sliced and put on plates with a fork.

A number of years ago Shoekitty turned me on to 'Smith Island Baking Company' products.

They are on the east coast. The cakes are beyond. The coconut cake is my favorite. I've also had the banana one and loved it. Can't remember what else, as I don't remember very well anymore.

Not cheap, but worth it IMO.

I've been looking online and saw the Daisy Cake ones. The lemon and carrot cake look really good and I also found a $20 coupon that will work. These are the cakes that were on Shark Tank.

Anyone ever had one of these?

Yes & it was very good. Shipping would be a concern since the service is this weekend...that's why my other post suggested a local bakery that will deliver directly to the location. Whatever you decide I hope it works out perfectly. Be well @soonersis.

There is a place I was just told of this past week and their goodies look wonderful. please google Carolinescakes. A friend had recieved one as a gift and she said it was wonderful (her words).

I have been the recipient of cakes that came from a place called bakemeawish.

I would call a local bakery in that city/state and have them deliver it, that

way YOU KNOW it will get there and know it's fresh.

If you rely on some company, you are at the mercy of the shipping company like ie. Fed X and you'll be worrying it won't get there on time.

Just a thought.

Google the city/look up bakeries and call.

Its not to get something fresh vs sending a frozen cake and you can personalize it too.

Another vote for the Kiffle Kitchen in Bath, PA.

Order them from Q but order direct all year long. Fast shipping too.

VERY fresh and I also like the idea of single pastries instead of a cake to easily serve.

Just platter them and let the family/guests help themselves. No mess.

They also freeze well if there are leftovers...but they taste JUST as good cold and frozen...so mine never last long in there either.

River Street Sweets has a 3 set of loaf size cakes with top icing. They are made in small batches, one at a time.

I recommend a local bakery as well. Whenever I need to send flowers or anything bakery related out of town, I always order it from a florist or bakery in that town/city. I'm assured of fresh and on-time delivery, and it's never failed.

@soonersis - I would also recommend trying a local bakery if possible. Can you share the city or area where the cake will be delivered? Perhaps one of our forum friends lives in the region and can make a personal recommendation so you don't have to just rely on what you can track down online...

I use Collin Street Bakery. THey are a world renowned fruitcake company but they do have some other things also. Hands down the best products out there.

I've used Wolferman's many times. Haven't sent a cake such as a carrot cake but have sent loaf cakes along with other things with it.

I would NEVER recommend or knowingly eat anything from Kiffle Kitchen in PA. I live close enough to know people who worked their part time (a teenager & an adult) & things I heard would turn your stomach. No thank you! Maybe things have changed since this was maybe 5 years ago I knew them & heard this, but maybe not!? I'm not taking the chance!

I second finding a local bakery in that area. Check online reviews to see what has a history of being fresh & good! They'll most likely deliver in your time frame too!
