Okay.... so how do I send a CAKE in the post?

[MadameDeMars]

I have a yummy yummy cake to post, but I'm worried that it won't travel well.

TIA

eat it and save on postage

I'd pack it out with polystyrene - I once received a cake from Germany like that - it was fine.

It won't! Suggest you eat it and send a letter describing how good it was instead

Ooooh, put it in a box, wrap it up in bubble wrap and I'll give you my address...

TBH I don't have a clue but will watch with interest.

oh you beat me to it MS - yeah Mars - send it to me I don't care what state it arrives in

jools that would be cruel!

But I like your thought pattern

I'm being far too serious, aren't I?

if it's fairly solid fruitcake type (ie not filled or iced), send in the tin it was baked in, or as near sized as you can get - important thing is a snug fit so it won't rattle about.
Wrap well in clingfilm etc, then in bubble wrap, then in snug box packed round with more bubblewrap/newspaper etc.

You are terrible women.

Thank you franke. That's what I'll do!

it's a lemon drizzle cake!
