The cake-mail challenge!

For many years I’ve sent cake to friends all over Britain when I felt they needed it. It’s a bit like a hug in a box if they are having a tough time, maybe because of illness, or just because….. Now, I am very interested in the time it takes to arrive at it’s destination – sometimes very quickly and other times at a snails pace, irrespective of how far it has to go.That affects the type of cake I post, so usually it’s one with a high fat content, like Brownie, or Lemon drizzle… not scones of course 😉 I wondered if you might like to help my research by sending someone a box of cake? The sort of container needs to be one that you won’t miss, so a take-away box is good, or a margarine carton. Add a note to the recipient, then wrap in brown paper with lots of tape. You will be questioned about the contents -that usually starts a conversation and ends with a smile! Assuming we will all use a different post office and send to different places it would be interesting to know if the cake arrives the next day or takes 3 days to get there. Let me know how you get on and I’ll report back in two weeks time, have fun!
