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
My son Zachary with the cake I ordered for Easter. Great timing! Thank You! Martha 04/23/11

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
Debora, just wanted to share the pics of my husband enjoying his cake from your bakery. Thank you so much for such a speedy and smooth process!

& we are honored to have feedback direct from Michael: These are a few pics from my birthday. The cake was a big hit and went quick. I think it was a great gift and gesture.

Alright Wire A Cake here is my LOVE after working 48 straight hrs and the cake traveling 3 weeks (it was 3 days late so he was told about it on our actual anniversary) it was a much needed sweet treat for my man and his men and they all raved about how yummy it was. Stacie 01/14/11

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

This is Kevin with his chocolate cake. He loved it, thanks so much. Christine 06/24/10
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 husband enjoying his cake in Afghanistan during the surprise party I planned for him with his soldiers. =) Yesenia 06/04/10
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 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. Some even gathered to sing him Happy Birthday before blowing out the candle!He took pictures and will be home on R&R soon so I will be sure to email you a few.Thank you so very much again! 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.

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!

Hi Deborah,Johnnie got his cake and absolutely loved it! I thought I'd copy his response for you: "Well, it tasted great!I was really impressed on how it traveled so well.I would pass along to her that the dry ice needs to be on both sides of the cake tin package.Like a sandwich of dry ice,with the cake in the middle.It would require bigger box of course, but it would keep it a little cooler.I mean with the temp getting to 120 at times, the side with no dry ice is likely getting very warm.All in all though, it did arrive in perfect condition.The wording was a little faded, I think because condensation or something, but it wasn't smushed or broken AT ALL. I was very impressed that I had a cake delivered to me in Iraq." Thank you so much for everything! I've forwarded your information to all the spouses I know in the Air Force and recommended your services.Karen 08/03/09
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 for the pecan pie you sent to my fiance at COB Speicher,Iraq. I ordered it last Tuesday and he got it today---7days later.Awesome!!!!! He loved it.

I got the cake yesterday.So when i got into work today i got to open it. It was very good thank you for sending it.I didnt have much time to eat any today because work was busy but i got like a 5 min break to scarf down a slice.The post office had to put another box around it because one of the ice packs had broken open and made the cardboard all soggy.I thought the package had melted till i got it open.haha,Michael 07/23/09
Debora, he got the cake!Woo hoo!And it was still good!Thank you so very much for following up on the order.I appreciate the time that you took to do this.I'll be ordering from you in the future!Thanks again, and have a good evening!Cheryl. 07/23/09

Thank you Debra for helping to make Nicks birthday special. He was missing home so much and not looking forward to his 21st birthday in Afgahnistan. He received the cake and the plates in plenty of time. He was very excited as were his buddies.They shared the cake and had a simple birthday party as soon as they were able.He was in much better spirits when his father and I were finally able to speak to him.Thank you again for helping to cheer him up and get on with his mission. Julia 05/30/09
Everytime I looked at it it said it was still in Ca.He loved them though. He said he didn't share with anyone. I told my lady friends about it. They seemed pretty interested. I got the package you sent me the other day. I am going to take it with me to the FRG meeting and hand them out. My husband said he got nervous when he seen the box and it said perishable. He thought it was really cool though.He was glad it was cookies. He said he would grab a few and take them with him, everytime he left.Thank you so much for working with me! Alicia 05/13/09
Hi Deborah,
I spoke with Justin today. He said that he received the cake, I believe on Friday, at 1:30am in the morning. He said that he shared it with other shipmates and that is was still fresh. Thank you so much! I appreciate your continued tracking of this!
Teresa 05/10/09
He got it really fast, not sure what day. He is very picky, and said it was
still cool, moist, and delicious! He even shared it with his guys! He was
really impressed. Best gift I've given him.. Usually, he just tells me what
he wants (electronic, computer software, etc), so he was really surprised by
the cake! Thank you so much. I'll be ordering from you again before he
comes home!!! Stephanie 04/28/09
Hey Debora,
The cake was great! He said it was perfect and the best surprise... He said the cake was "barely sweating" when he got it but absolutely nothing wrong at all and was perfect and tasted great. He was amazed at the packaging and said it was done really well. He and his guys loved it. I wish they had pictures, but they don't. It was an anniversary surprise, so he didn't know what to expect. Thank you so much for your service. Any thoughtful gift from home is a great thing for our Soldiers. As a Soldier myself, I know. Thank you again. Shannon 04/20/09
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
We took the chance and ordered our son JR a cake for his 30th birthday and
as you can see it was well received. Thanks for sharing this link as it made
JR's birthday a little more bearable for this mom & dad at home!
Diana
Thanks guys!
I got the cake today....it was cold! That was a cool gift idea. I shared it
with all my Marines, they all enjoyed it. It was a delicious cake too. I
have no idea how you found that place, but it was good! I had a good
birthday, I will try to call home this weekend. Love you, and I will talk to
you soon,
JR 02/01/09
Debra, I want to thank you again for providing this service to our men and
women in uniform. It means a lot to me as an Army wife to know that there a
people out there that go above and beyond. Thanks again!
Respectfully,
Lourdes 02/02/09
My son, who would just as soon forget he was celebrating another birthday, is stationed in Iraq. Not one for all the gaiety surrounding each milestone, he really got a kick out of the cake I had sent. Good job, Wire-A-Cake!
Attached is the response we received along with a picture he took of the cake, which I didn't forward, but it looked great. Semper Fi. Lynne
Here is:
- Bday Cake: Mom and Dad ordered this thing online and had it shipped to
me. This company evidently knows what they are doing because when it
got to me, the package, although battered and wet, was still cold (they
put one of those freezer packs in the package). Despite my hatred for
my birthday, I couldn't help but smile.
Love you! 12/22/08
Just to let you know, Wes's cake arrived today 11-11-08 in Japan. It is the 12th there. It arrived in good condition. I just received a phone call. Thanks! Lisa
I just wanted to let you know how happy my husband was with his birthday
cake. I know I was a little upset about it getting there early, but you are
right, better early than late. He enjoyed it so much and the guys that got
to share it with him. It was nice to be able to celebrate his birthday so
far away from home. Thank you! I will be sure to recommend you guys!

Debra - I ran across your interview on Military.com
Brought back a lot of memories... I was your first customer for delivery to Hawaii! My husband was over there for his two week annual training and you got his cake to him. Karen 10/29/08
Thank you for making my son's birthday so wonderful. The cake arrived
Monday night, he open it today and he loved it.
***** 4 stars for your company.Regina 07/28/08
