sending a birthday cake

hennypenny — Wed, 11 Jul 2018 19:09:17 GMT

I want to send a birthday cake. Has anyone ordered from "bake me a wish" before.

Are there any other bakeries you can recommend?

The Q has some pretty cakes but the food coloring is a problem.

I sent one to my brother in California for his birthday from David’s Cookies. He said it was good.

@hennypenny - does it have to be an actual cake?

There are a few nationwide florists that make them from flowers.

Wicked Good Cupcakes delivers cakes in jars that is a fun alternative.

@hennypenny I’ve only sent a cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory. It arrived in perfect condition & much appreciated.

Look at We Take the Cake dot com website. I have not ordered from them, but their cakes look beautiful and delicious and very expensive.

Nothing Bundt Cakes are fabulous. If they’re in your area they deliver.

I use Davids Cookies for gifts, look for a coupon for discounts and free shipping, they are reliable . Henny, FYI, they are Kosher.

Hi Everyone,

I send from the cheese cake factory every year. This year was thinking of doing something different.

mr henny is sending him some mini pies from Frisbee bakery as a bit of a joke, as our son plays disc golf.

I was still thinking some kind of cake.

Will look into some of your suggestions. I know the Q sells from David's but have never tried, so wasn't sure.

When my son was away at college (out of state), I contacted a local bakery in his area, and had a cake delivered from there.

Just another suggestion. :-)

@hennypenny I was reading the suggestions you received regarding the birthday cake and other options. I have used them all with the exception of one and I do not think you can go wrong with any of the options offered. Such a very kind gesture on your part to want to send a cake. It is the thought that counts and I am certain any item received will be a precious memory to the person. BTW...need my address for any just let me know ROFL

Hi hennypenny,

Yes, I have ordered cakes from Bale Me A Wish several times. My recipient really enjoyed them. Mind you it went from NY to NJ, but they were always delivered on time and tasty (according to my friend). I had a good experience using them. Hope this helps!

Just make sure that the bakery is well versed on sending cakes. Over 20 years ago, I saw a segment on the Today show about favorfite cakes. Al Roker's segment was about Red Velvet Cake. I never heard of it before and was intrigued about this southern cake. I live in NYC.

I went to Chattanooga TN for business and I asked abut them. My contact couldn't find one that day but was kind enough to mail me a cake to my work. Well, do you know what a Red Velvet Cake looks like when mailed improperly? Dog food. The cake fell apart. Of course, we New Yorkers never saw a red cake before and dug in anyway. It was delicious albeit looked digusting. Fast forward, Red Velvet Cake is now commonplace here in the city and I do still enjoy it.

Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions.

We ended up ordering a Tiramisu cake from Juniors.

It is somewhat like a cake he adored as a child that came from a bakery in San Francisco. The Q didn't have it in stock, but I was able to get it directly from Juniors.

I ordered directly from Juniors and I got the cake fast and in perfect condition. From New York to California.
