A while back we got a phone call, "Help!  I need to send a birthday cake to someone in Miami TOMORROW.  And it's got to be a great cake, too."

We went to GoCakeGo.com to order the cake.  They will ship a cake and a mini party anywhere in the United States (stay tuned for global delivery).  In the trademark green box you will get a cleverly wrapped cake, confetti, matching plates and napkins, and even a knife to serve the cake. 

The cakes are delicious, big enough for ten people or so, and rich enough so that even small slices are satisfying.  The website also has a unique feature. In an e-vite sort of way, you can invite other people by email to send a birthday (or congratulation, etc...) greeting to your special person.  The birthday recipient will get an email with a link to a custom web page full of well wishing and congrats.  Mix the two - a great cake and an on line party - and you get a unique way to make someone's day. See this example.

I think this would be a great way to say 'thank you' to a client, referral source, fellow attorney, managing partner, or, say, a marketing person who just helped you with that big RFP.

"It's not a party until the green box shows" claims the web site.
