Kate - Lovely cakes:T
I know it has been asked before but I have gone through loads of posts and can't find the answer:o I have up until now only sold through collection from my home or local delivery but now I have someone wanting one posted.
I do not want to go the expenses of buying boxes, packing etc. but on the other hand I do not want to turn the sales down. So I can come up with a box and packaging but what is the best way to send ie. Post Office.
It also concerns me that the cake/cellophane will not get there intact. I know it must because of lots of you send in the post so what do you use to package up the cake?
What is the rough cost of sending a single tier cake?
Sorry for all the questions:p0 -
Kate and Giggle, you're cakes are lovely, I will try some bodysuits round my next one

Oh forgot to say that I also got this flower (99p) Thought I might try it on a 3 tier to hold it all together as well as being a nice 'topper'

(sorry if any of these have been posted previously - I had a look back on a couple of pages but couldn't see them )It's easier to get forgiveness than to ask permission

Hi Irlip
That's a lovely cake, very nice.
I have a few orders too for Easter cakes, hoping to get them done this weekend.
I've posted a few cakes in boxes (boxes which I ordered from Ebay) and some were 3 tier ones, some were 2 tier.
I just wrap them in cellophane and ribbon as normal and find that this keeps them in place, once inside the box.
I sent mine first class signed for, and the cost was about £10, as they were big and needed to be sent parcel post.
Hope this helps,
Sal
xJust finished an "Easter" cake:)
