Mission Difficult: Finding Internationally Shippable Vegan Treats

Here was my mission this past Christmas to get some sweet vegan delicatessens to my family in Toronto a week before the day:

Goal:
Find a set of well-reviewed vegan delicatessens that can be shipped to an address in Toronto, ON, Canada.

Requirements:
1. Get it there on-time or before Christmas day
2. Try to keep costs under $100

What it took:
5 Bakeries contacted in/out of the United States; 3 Responses; 27 e-mails; 5 Calls; 1 Order; 2 weeks

What came out of it:
1 awesome Carrot Cake for $45.68 (after delivery).

Take-Away:
Uh, why isn’t this easier to do on the internet?
