Did the cling wrap make impression into the fondant? Did it arrive smooth like the day you made? Meaning the fondant had no impressions from the packing material…very curious ….thank you and awesome tutorial for packing…

In reply to Frankie H. I dont think I would try to ship a BC cake; I am not sure it would make it but if do I would do that, yes. I think dry ice is a good idea, you just have to be sure the cake wont shift around in the box and get damaged :)

In reply to Sharon Zambito.

Would refreezing the buttercream cake before unwrapping help to not to damage the icing so much? Also, what about making a shipping box with dry ice in the corners to keep it cold or maybe even frozen. I built a box that I created pockets in each corner to hold dry ice. I made a top for each pocket to keep the dry ice in during transit.

Just asking what your opinion would be for the box I created.
Btw…I have not shipped a cake using my box yet. I’m scared to try it. Lol

In reply to Gloria. I agree. I dont think a BC cake will work, the plastic wrap etc will damage it too much an it will turn to goo :(

Lovely cake – great post. Steep shipping, but looks like it was worth it.

Hi, Thank you for a very detailed, informative post! Does this only apply to fondant covered cakes or can I ship a buttercream iced cake the same way? I’m afraid if it starts to defrost that the icing will stick to the bubble wrap. Thanks again!
