Okay, okay. I didn't want to let you do it. But if you insist, you can get a heavy-duty styrofoam cooler and dry ice. Supplement the styrofoam with additional slabs of styrofoam. I've had frozen things shipped that way, and they were rock hard when they got here. The cake should be fine. As much sugar (most caramelized) as the icing has, it's not going to be a problem anyway.
But, if you still insist on precautions, you can ship it overnight. USPS is okay; it's a more convenient way to mail packages. 'sides, I think that they use third parties--FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.--to ship that kind of mail anyway.
Thank you for your kind offer. Remember: you said that my wish is your command.

Or you can wait till winter.
I don't think the carrier would appreciate a sticky melted cake.
And the wish was for a meat cookbook not a cake.
