Dear WireACake,Thank you very much for providing a cake delivery service that supports our troops. I know it is not easy to mail a dessert thousands of miles away to Afghanistan in such excellent condition. The brownie cake looked amazing, but more importantly it was delicious. My friends and I enjoyed it very much.
Sincerely, Jay 05/21/14

Hi Debora. We received the birthday cake for our boss, MAJ Meinholz, and I must say she was really surprised and most of all impressed that we were able to get her a cake all the way here in Afghanistan. Not only was the cake very beautiful, but it was VERY tasty. I would recommend your company to anyone who may have a loved one that's far away & would like to make their birthday, anniversary, promotion, etc. a special one. I would also recommend placing the order at least 11-12 days prior to the significant event in order for it to make it on time. Our boss' birthday was on 19 Feb. I placed the order on 09 Feb, the cake shipped on 12 Feb, & got here on 21 Feb. So please plan in advance. WireACake Bakery did a very good job making sure that it was well insulated & very protected. The cake was wrapped with insulated bubble wrap, newspaper, & ice packs, therefore the cake was still moist upon arrival & was not damaged at all. Once again thank you WireACake for making this a special day for our boss. You rock!!! Katrina 02/27/13
Our son loved his cake!! Thank you!! Kathy 02/25/13

Hello Cake People! My girlfriend, Kaitlin, sent me a birthday cake here in Afghanistan and even though it got here two days late it was a welcomed surprise! It was mailed on 2 July and arrived today on 13 July. The average package takes only about 6 days to get here so I was saddened to see that. With 11 days in transit the cake arrived a little dry but still very much
edible. After unwrapping I refrigerated the cake for about a half hour
and then shared with my joes! Thanks Wire A Cake! Chris 07/13/12
Dear Wire-a-cake,Thank you so much for the cake I recently received for Father's Day.�I couldn't believe that my wife and boys could have one of your cakes shipped all the way to Afghanistan and have it arrive in one piece... let alone still tasting great. And to see the picture of me with my 4 year old twins on top really made it a special day. Thank you for your service and for providing one of the happiest memories I'll take home from a year here. I've attached a picture of me with my wonderful cake.
Sincerely, Mike 07/03/12
Hi Debora!!! Just had to let you know that Michelle's birthday cake arrived safely!!! Was only two days early, so it worked out great! She said it was REALLY good, and once she decided to share... it only lasted 10 minutes! Ha! Too bad the cakes can't be bigger! I am attaching two photos of Michelle holding her cake....it made her so happy, the guys in her unit happy, and me VERY happy! I've said it before, but THANK YOU for what y'all do...it really does make a difference and puts a smile on lots of faces!!! God bless you!!!! Janet 06/26/12

Thank you for allowing me to "be with him" on his birthday, and for helping me send him an epic box-o-love to Afghanistan. You guys are true heroes!! <3<3<3<3 Julie 04/28/12
Thank you so much for your amazing cake and outstanding customer service. My husband is not home again for his birthday and I knew sending him a cake from you guys would make is day. I had sent one to him last year while he was deployed and he loved it so there was no doubt I would be doing the same this year. You shipped it Friday and he received it today. Even though he isnt deployed sniper school in Hawaii is kicking his butt so this definitely brought a smile to his face<3 A special thanks to Debora George for her special attention to my needs. I am a customer for life <3

We received a lovely and tastey cake this morning! Thanks so very much. The USO staff here on Shindand was tempted to take the cake and forks and run away, but we decided it's better to give than to receive. We decided to put it to even better use and gave it to our volunteers as a "thank you". Did you know that this is National Volunteer Week? Perfect timing. Our volunteers did share with us. We were all pleasantly surprised that the cake was still moist and very yummy - often home baked and bakery items reach us dry out and in crumbs, although we still eat them. Cathe G. Duty Manager USO Bagram

Good morning Debora,
I just wanted to let you know that my honey Luis received his cake this morning (their afternoon). I also just wanted to say Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your patronage to our troops. It is truly an amazing feeling to be able to provide our loved ones with something sweet as this, especially while they are deployed. I will truly consider using Wire a cake again and again, if need be. The cake was very well received and appreciated and delicious from the mouth of Luis and his comrades. :) Again, thank you so much for having this company and being able to provide this service to our troops' families. With the kindest of regards and most sincere gratitude, Miriam 10/15/11

Hi Debora!I wanted to send an email to let you know that the cake I won via the Operation Ward 57 auction arrived today! I had the inscription done for my kids with their names and had it sent to them as a "thank you!" for all of their help with everything while their Dad was deployed the last 12 months. It was great to see their faces when they opened it this afternoon and I told them why they were receiving such a special surprise. They wanted to know all about the process of shipping the cakes to soldiers overseas and they felt so special to be getting a cake just like brave soldiers would be getting. I told them they are my brave little troops because they did such an outstanding job of helping me out with their baby sister during the last 12 months when their Dad was in Afghanistan. They loved the cake and after it was cut and served they wanted to know who got parts of their names on their piece! It was too cute! The entire experience was wonderful and it definitely brought huge smiles to their faces as well as mine and their Dad's..now that he's home!
Thanks again! Jillian 05/18/11
I meant to share this earlier. He loved it and everyone else did too. Our daughter picked out his birthday hat and his mom sent the candles. Thanks for helping us make his birthday wonderful. (He may shoot me for sharing this picture though!!) Laura 05/12/11
Hi!
I just wanted to THANK YOU for the cake I sent to my husband for his birthday! It actually arrived ON his birthday so I couldn't ask for better timing! I am attaching some pictures, I hope they go through, the last one is when his team was singing happy birthday to him and I haven't seen a smile that big on his face since before he left over 4 months ago.
Thank you for making this possible!
Sincerely,Megan 05/11/11

I ordered a last minute cake to go to a deployed friend. I ordered it one week before I needed it and I got an email shortly after saying the cake would be made the same day and shipped the same day... I never thought in a million years it would arrive to my deployed friend on his birthday. Yesterday he received his cake! And it made his day.... I can't thank you enough for bringing a smile and a lil piece of home to my very dear friend! Attached you will see Capt Addison and his wonderful cake! Jennifer 02/08/11
We are honored to have feedback direct from Captain Addison:
The cake was great...to be honest, I didn't think a cake could be shipped and actually not go bad but your cake was still moist and yummy. The fondant was really good..I'm a fan of good fondant. Thank you very much once again.
Capt Addison, United States Air Force

Hi Debora, Just wanted you to know that Jason's second cake got to him perfectly!! He actually received it on Thursday June 24th - fast shipping time again! As you can see by the attached pictures, it made the journey very well this time :) He was pleasantly surprised that it was an anniversary cake this time; you can tell by the picture that he was not expecting it! He thought it would be another Father's Day message, so we managed to surprise him after all. Just wanted to thank you for what you are doing and especially for working with Jason's order as you did. I have referred many people to you, even after the first one (cuz I know it's not your fault what happens during shipping). All the guys there enjoyed the cake (s!) and again I appreciate ya'll for working with us! Lisa 06/28/10

Here is my husband's cake that I sent him for our 5th anniversary on Wednesday! He really liked it and they had to improvise with jelly beans to cover where the icing came off. Actually, from what I understand it was his Lt's idea to fix the cake, LOL. She had the jelly beans, so I have to give credit to her, LOL. But he really enjoyed the cake and from what I understand it was only a little bit of icing that came off! Thank you again for a great present to him! I love this site! Hayley 06/20/10 {The cake is covered with parchment paper to protect it from the lid and we do have instructions to peel it off slowly to prevent the fondant from sticking but sometimes it still can happen.}

My hubby received his cake just in time for his birthday but due to other circumstances he was not able to eat it until a week later, and it was still in great shape and yummy 17 days after it was shipped. Thank you Wire a Cake! He loved it! Gabriella 05/20/10
Thank you so much for the cake you made for my husband. Despite his mail arriving by truck, it still got to him in time for his 30th birthday! He loved the picture of him and our 6 children that you put on the top of the cake. Great job!

Hi again, I wanted to say Thank you so much for providing this service. Giving our troops a little taste of home is just what they need to boost their morale. My husband in Baghdad received his cake in 7 days! The guys had a fun time hiding it from him and also enjoying the cake. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the opportunity to make my husbands birthday a special one :) Jennifer 04/28/10
Hi Debbie, The cake was in great shape when it arrived... we just forgot to take a picture after we opened the tin. As soon as we opened it, it was gone! :) Thanks again! You made a lot of soldiers smile! Cindy 04/22/10
Hello-Chris received his birthday cake today! I sent him a seperate package with birthday hats and other "party" supplies. His sweet smile and seeing these tough army guys in silly birthday hats makes this a picture I will treasure forever! It meant everything to me that my daughter and I could "be there" with him to celebrate his birthday in Iraq. The picture of us on the cake held up well but the fact that you enclosed a hardcopy of the photo "just in case" speaks to the incredible level of customer service your company puts out. The cake was large enough to share so the day was made even more special since he could gather with a few of his war buddies and share the tasteytreat.Everyone commented on how good the cake was and many people were surprised that such a treat could be sent from so far away. Always, April 04/12/10
Hello! I just wanted to say "THANK YOU!" for the birthday cake! It arrived on time and in good shape. My husband and the guys loved it.

You were a big part in helping him have a very special birthday. Kallie 04/06/10

Dear Sweetie, Hey! I got the cake in today! It was AWESOMEEEEEE! I was surprised on the packing that it made it-not soggy or anything like that. The icing was sweeeet! I tried to take a picture of it, but it was too tempting for others and I barely got the picture with two pieces left. I actually lost $2 on a bet that I thought it wouldn't make it in good condition...oh well (haha). I copied this email to the cake company to let them know all the way out here in the middle of nowhere in Afghanistan, their cake made it safely and is now resting in the bottom of many Marines' bellies! Thanks! Love, Daddy CWO3 C. G. Aragon Supply Operations Officer 12/16/09

Thank you! Cynthia 10/14/09
Thank you for the info. I did have trouble tracking, but chose not to worry about it. The cake arrived sooner than I thought it might and my daughter waited a day to enjoy it with her friends at the hospital. She wanted to dive in right away, but her fellow nurses at the hospital made her promise to wait one day for her actual birthday. She said the cake was pretty and they loved it. Thanks for the wonderful service and I will certainly order from you again. Sandra 10/14/09
Morning, I wanted to say thank you for what you all do. My sons and myself had purchased a cake for my wife, their step-mom from yall, an it was derived to her for her birthday. She received it a couple days before her day and when she got it she did not know what to think or how to act. She really enjoyed it and as her coworkers did too. They were more surprised that a cake of your quality could even be delivered to Iraq without being crushed or ruined in the mail system. Again Ithank you for your support and keep on send the cakes. I plan to buy another for our anniversary soon. Tom 10/14/09
Debora, Sorry it has taken me so long to get these to you, but here's photos my husband Silas sent me from when he got his Anniversary cake last month. He said it was delicious and you can see from the photos that he and his buddies had fun chowing it down! Thank you so much for making it possible for us to celebrate our one year anniversary together via cake :) Erica 10/03/09
Hi Debora:They just got it today and immediately got into it for quality control purposes. The verdict is in: still fresh and tasty. Obviously your packaging method must be first class. In any event, it's is the feature on this evening's dessert menu. Please tell your colleagues at W-A-C that even if they arrive a week or more late, these cakes from home are very much appreciated.Cheers and many thanks for your concern, Jim 09/16/09

Baby, I love you so much. Just when I think that you couldn't be any more perfect you go and surprise me again. I even smiled for the picture!"(haha, you know Marines have to be tough and not smile in pictures- but I guess this was an exception)" Thanks a ton! Ashley 08/31/09
Deborah,thank you so much for helping us make our baby boy's 21st birthday a little more special. Our marine was just thrilled when he received his cake, it arrived in Japan in 9 business days! WOW!

Debora,Good Morning.My Baby received his Birthday Cake yesterday and he loved it.Said it was very good.An ice pack has ruptured so it leaked through the box, but the cake was fine.He received it less then a week from my order. Thank you so much. You helped me make his birthday special even when we are thousands of miles apart.Oh and the other soldiers made fun of him as most soldiers do to each other, but of course it is all in good fun.Alice 07/27/09
Thank you so much!! I just found your link on cinchouse. I am spreading the word about you - what a great idea!! I am the ombudsman for a group that just deployed to Africa for a year - including my husband. He loves pecan pie and so nice to send him a slice of home. Bea 03/05/09
Dear Debra....I just heard from my son, Corporal Ryan Bottoms who has been stationed in Iraq for 9 months and spending his 20th birthday (yesterday). I have to say how impressed I was that BOTH cakes made it the day BEFORE my son's birthday. One chocolate and one vanilla. He tried both and really loves the chocolate so it was his favorite! Not only was he impressed that the cakes showed up but the men in his shop were so very excited to see real CAKE. They said the cakes arrived in excellent condition...it was as if you delivered them personally. And they were perfect in size. My son said there was enough to go around everyone on the night shift and the day shift as well. Thank you so very much! I cannot tell you how much it means to me that my son was able to enjoy a 'little piece of home' in the beautiful cakes you were able to create and safely transport all the way to Iraq! His entire shop thank you (and me) for the very thoughtful and tasty gift.
With deepest appreciation....Donna 02/27/09

Debbie,
Here is a picture of my handsome husband enjoying his cake! He shared his cake with his Marines and said it was delicious! Many of the Marines want to send your cakes to fellow Marines deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan...especially those that are single or have no family.They all got such a kick out of receiving a fresh cake all the way over there! Thanks so much for such a wonderful service,
Kelly 02/08/09
