Sending Birthday Cakes From Your Computer

We live in a modern world where almost anything is possible. A Californian can order a pizza from New York and have it for dinner the next day. With the invention of the internet, almost anything is possible – including delivered birthday cakes. Let’s say it’s your mother’s birthday and you want to make her a birthday cake, however; she lives in California while you live in New Jersey. You can send your mother gourmet birthday cakes from your computer.

There are a plethora of services available, all of which enable you to send her a mouth watering cake. Just hope the UPS driver doesn’t bite into it. Users can design the cake from start to finish, and you can even put a picture of your face on the top.

Among the various companies there are two delivery options: hand delivered cakes and fresh shipped cakes. If one of their partner bakeries is within reach, you can have it hand delivered. You can also have the cakes delivered via first or second day air. Be advised most carriers will not deliver to P.O. boxes. Let your loved one knows they need to be home hat day, or arrange for a neighbor to sign for it. (But make sure they don’t eat all of it!)

The production time varies by each service, but generally the more time you give them, the cheaper it will be. Since it is a baked good, you will pay an arm and a leg for shipping. Be careful that you describe exactly what you want. Do not hesitate to contact the company to ensure they have received your directions. For a custom design, flavor, or recipe you will pay more. Standard (ready to go) birthday cakes can sometimes ship within 24 hours.

Be careful though, ensure that your recipient is not allergic to certain foods or is diabetic. That’s just mean! Since birthday cakes are of a personal nature, it is not necessarily appropriate for a colleague or boss. In those situations consider giving a gourmet gift basket.

If you feel that the shipping or delivery charges are too expensive there’s other options for the birthday cakes. Find a local courier service and see how much it would be to pick up and deliver the cake. You can prepay by calling the bakery, and at the same time you’ll be supporting local business. Be creative as it is the thought that counts!

Birthday cakes can be ordered and delivered to your recipient from GoCakesGo.com, ChocolateBakery.com, WireaCake.com, and many others.
