I usually pack stuff I don't want to break in my suitcase in a tupperware like container. I've had lots of luck with this method. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-shipped-baked-goods#post-1451293 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 14:21:45 +0000 pui 1451293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. When DH and I were long distance, I would occassionally mail cookies to him</p> <p>My advice is</p> <p>- Make cookies that are somewhat soft so that they will not break. Chocolate chip works really well (although if it's really hot maybe something without chocolate would be better)! I also had success with gingerbread. Brittle cookies like shortbread will probably just end up being a powder by the time they arrive.</p> <p>- Pack the cookies very tightly in layers with sheets of parchment paper inbetween so that they don't move around too much in transit.</p> <p>- Use an airtight container and then seal the container with packing tape so there is no chance of it spilling.</p> <p>- Then put the container in a box and make sure the container can't bump around by filling empty space with newspaper or packing peanuts or something.</p> <p>- Ship overnight if you can, although most cookies would probably be fine for 3 days or so.</p> <p>I have also mailed my dad a banana bread with similar methods and it turned out great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-shipped-baked-goods#post-1451289 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 14:19:56 +0000 cmomma17 1451289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't attempted yet, but I have read a tip that you should include a slice of bread in the container to absorb extra moisture! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-shipped-baked-goods#post-1451272 Wed, 26 Feb 2014 14:16:40 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1451272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking of baking some cookies and stuff for my brother, but I'm unsure of how to send them w/o them being damaged or ruined. I never know if it's going to be warm or cold down here (TX), but I know the temperature makes a difference. </p> <p>Have you ever shipped baked goods? Tips? </p>
