My mom wants to ship me a cake to me for my birthday next month. Is that possible? She suggested packing it with dry ice.

The best suggestion would be for her to purchase a cake from a bakery that's local to you and ask them to deliver it. She can do this online, most likely, or at the least she can find a local baker using online yellow pages or search engines. A cake would have to go by second-day delivery at the very slowest, which is pretty expensive when going International, and even though you can package the cake with dry ice so it won't spoil on its journey, you can't guarantee that it won't get dropped, bounced around, etc in transit; you may end up with a perfectly fresh lump of cake-like goo. Plus there are a lot of restrictions when it comes to food being shipped between countries so she may spend a lot of time and money getting the cake ready to ship only to have it rejected by customs.

Well, there is no possibility for long-term cooling without professional installations.
Either the cake can be sent without cooling, or otherwise either wait for cooler weather or forget about - perhaps you can give the recipe to someone in your area...?
Where are you overseas? Some countries do not allow private food imports, like Australia.
