I've never done it.

What do I need to know?

use a rigid container if you're doing anything with icing. And make sure you chose a quicker delivery service. Airtight container is also good.

I used to send cookies to my brothers at college all the time. I would put them in a ziplock bag and pack the extra space in the box with newspaper.

If you can, bake it in a disposable aluminum pan.
Cool completely.
Wrap in plastic wrap twice - once in each direction.
Wrap in foil.
Wrap in bubble wrap. Tape an additional address label to the bubble wrap
Put a layer of packing peanuts in the bottom of the box - 1-2" deep.
Insert the pan.
Pour packing peanuts all around the pan, stuffing it full. Jiggle it a couple of
times to make sure the peanuts settle.
Tape the box securely, and add the address label on the top.
Using a BIG red marker, put LARGE arrows pointing up on all four sides.
Mark "fragile" on the top.
Bring to USPS or UPS or FedEx.

(If you're sending cupcakes, leave them in the (disposable) pan and send the entire thing!)

Good luck!

Google is a good source, but Lily is no novice when it comes to the internet, she most likely came here because she knew there would most likely be someone with experience that can provide trusted advice.

That response was tantamount to flipping her the bird, IMO. Not nice.

Ahh.....ummm......okay.

Momala, great advice. I mail baked goods without a problem, unless it's overseas. Then I don't.

Trudy, I need someone to mail ME baked goods. ;)

Cookies? A cake? Maybe a pie? Let me know Czech and I'll send some baked goods. With the last month or so you've had you deserve to be baked for!

I always wrapped baked goods well in zip lock bag and then filled box with more zip lock bags of popped popcorn (that's what my mom did back when I was in college and it was awesome. Cookies etc. would be intact and safe and then I ate the popcorn LOL

 Packing with popcorn is a really good idea!

So about how much would it cost to send a loaf of, say, bread?

Average, of course.
