Bake Me a Wish

Apparently, I was queen for a day in the middle east, thanks to an idea to send my shipmates over in Afghanistan a cake from Bake Me A Wish. I have a few friends stationed in Kabul for a year as Individual Augmentees (IA) for the U.S. Navy as Public Affairs Officers.

A little birdie told me that my LCDR friend had a thing for oreo cookies. Ok, I cheated and I asked her husband on Facebook. Good thing I did, because I learned she pretty much just likes chocolate cake. They have a special "Freedom Cake" that you can order for yourself, and Bake Me A Wish will send a cake to a soldier serving overseas.

Here's the cookies and cream one I ordered for my friend. They are very courteous over the phone and the cake got there pretty fast, considering. It was packaged very nicely so it arrived fresh and delicious!

I love how 5% of all orders go to Operation Birthday Cake, which donates birthday cakes each month to forward deployed soldiers. This is part of their partnership with the very generous organization, Soldiers Angels.

Oh, and if you watched the Today Show this morning, you saw all of the other great things ordering cakes from this company can do! *Come home soon, Christine!
