One good way to ship a cake is to pack it first in a tin with a tight lid. Then pack the tin in a larger box with plenty of light weight packing material such as foam peanuts tightly filling the space between the tin and the box.
It is possible to line the tin with parchment paper then bake the cake directly in the tin. This ensures the cake fits securely within the tin, and will not shift during shipping.

Should you wrap a cake in plastic and newspaper before freezing?
To freeze a cake, the best way is to first put the cake (unwrapped) in the freezer for about 45 minutes to let the icing get firm to prevent it from being crushed. Then wrap the cake very well in plastic wrap, wrapping it in several layers, and closely to the cake, to remove as much air as possible. Then you can either wrap in in foil, freezer paper or wax paper for extra protection. You can then place it in a cake box if you have room in your freezer to help prevent it from being crushed. Newspaper serves absolutely no purpose in freezing cakes, and the ink can actually be toxic.
