Tips for How to Order a Birthday Cake Online

Do you have a child that is away at college and celebrating a birthday?  Has a family member or friend moved away for a new job and you still want to celebrate their birthday?  In today's post, I'll connect you with  Bake Me a Wish because this company has thought of everything when it comes to shipping birthday cakes.  (In case you are wondering, yes, this is the same company that one of the Shark Tank investors loves!)

1. Use a company that has been around for a long time with a good reputation.

We love Bake Me a Wish. This New York-based company has been around for over a decade and has the sweetest story. The founder had just moved to Manhattan and wanted to send his mother a Tiramisu cake. He searched all over town, but no one provided the service to mail a cake.  He noticed the need for a hassle-free service to send delicious cakes to family and friends. He got together with friends and created Bake Me a Wish. This company was created by perfectionists who pay meticulous attention to detail as they strive to provide a top-quality service for sending cakes and other treats to loved ones. 

2. Decide on the type of cake.

I'm a chocolate lover! For my birthday, I received the Bake Me a Wish Brownie Cheesecake. This decadent cheesecake is truly incredible. I won't be surprised if it wins awards in the future!  Here is the description:

The most spectacular chocolate cheesecake around! We start with a base of chocolate and creamy chocolate cheesecake - then we top this cake with a layer of fudge frosting, rich brownies and a drizzle of chocolate sauce! Includes a greeting card that you can personalize and arrives packaged in an elegant gift box.

While this decadent cheesecake is my dream cake, Bake Me a Wish has many other options to impress! They have everything from vanilla cake to tiramisu. They have cakes, cheesecakes,  cupcakes, pies, cookies, and brownies.  They are the ultimate bakery for birthday celebrations! 

3. Order a premium quality cake.

We always go for a "wow factor" when it comes to birthdays.  You'll want a crave worthy cake that is memorable to your birthday cake recipient. Consider the quality of your purchase so that your birthday cake recipient is over-the-moon!

4. Consider shipping time.

You'll want to order your cake in advance since it is shipped from NYC. Personally, my Bake Me a Wish deliveries conveniently arrived by FedEx. Each box contained a styrofoam cooler and dry ice. They seemed to overnight the deliveries, but remember that they need time to process the order. 

5. Inform your birthday cake recipient to watch for the delivery.

Be sure to inform your birthday cake recipient when the cake ships. Personally, I think that the anticipation adds to the fun. However, it's also a practical tip because you don't want them to miss their package.  If your child lives in a dorm, you may want to call the campus mail room to ask them to notify your child when it arrives. In my experience, many employees enjoy being part of the surprise and are happy to help!
