| Send a Freedom Cake! At Bake Me A Wish! when you send the Freedom Cake to a recipient here in the US, Bake Me A Wish! will deliver a gourmet cake to a soldier serving overseas, in the name of your recipient. This is neat "Each cake features a special card informing the recipient that a cake has been sent to a soldier in their name, alongside an imprint of the American Flag. Soldiers overseas will receive this exact same cake you order here!" What a great idea. Or you can choose to send the Kids Freedom cake and your child can include a letter to the soldier. Bake Me A Wish! has been featured on Ellen, The View, Fox n Friends, The Today Show, and many more. Their cakes looks delicious and benefit a great cause. www.bakemeawish.com |
