I couldn’t think of any way round it. I offered to do something else but she was determined to show her mum some of my cakes so I’ve finally managed to convince her to take the cakes on as hand luggage. (There are only four of them and they’re in an 8" cake box). Apparently some airliners will allow you to carry cake as hand luggage since it isn’t liquid and I’ve checked and there doesn’t seem to be any regulations about taking a cake into Japan. Hopefully they will get there in one piece now but thanks for the suggestion. :o) x
