Sending Iced Cakes Home
Dear Aunt Daisy, I heard you inviting advice on sending an iced cake home to England. Well, I’ve sent quite a number, and all have | arrived in perfect condition. I put on almond paste, and decorate them too. I’m positive the cakes must be well baked, because a good fruit cake really improves on the journey. I put clean greaseproof paper round the cake, and
pack so it can’t shake about. Then 1 put adhesive tape round the liq and next paste paper all over the tin-just ordinary boiled flour paste with a small piece of alum added. This dries like a board. I sew the tin in calico or anything useful, and address this, and lastly I put it in a brown paper parcel with plenty of string round, and also addressed. I’m sure it is the packing of these parcels that matters. I’ve sent scores Home to my sisters and friends, and not one has been damaged or gone astray. I used to pack them this way to our boys overseas too. It is the packing that does the trick.
