Cake tin for posting a loaf-shaped cake?

[Heeka]

I have been trying to find a tin or box in which I could post a cake, a standard sized loaf ideally. Anyone got any ideas for what I could sent it in? I got a lovely tin from Biscuiteers when I had DS, with cookies in, so I could have reused it except it has blue ducks on and this cake is to send to a new mum who's had a girl!

What about a shoe box? If you wrap the cake with tissue paper, then in newspaper, and fill out all the voids in the box with tightly scrunched newspaper, it "should" be safe through the post.
