Question:

How do you keep baked goods fresh when mailing overseas?

I'm sending a package over to someone in IraqI want to include some baked goods, but I'm worried about them spoiling or going staleI heard about getting one of those big vacuum bags and put them in that, suck out all the air, and then put some of the silicon beads in the box with it to keep the moisture awayBut I wasn't sure if that actually worksSometimes the lids on plastic containers pop open easily so I don't really want to use thatI was thinking about putting the vacuum bag of baked goods in a tin container but I'm not too sureAny suggestions?I asked this in Food Drink but no one answered.

Answer:

A vacuum bag might workI used to get stacks of cookies (my favorite) shipped wrapped in aluminum foil and then tucked down into pringles cans along with a piece of bread (helps with the stale factor) and then the whole thing wrapped in heavy duty plastic wrapThe shape of the container kept the cookies from sliding around and getting crushedI've also seen cookies packed in coffee cans, shoe boxes, and tupperwareMy mother once sent cookies in the same package as Irish Spring soapI still ate the cookies but they tasted like soap.
I am SO glad I took the time to read the full questionWhen I read that first line I was sorely tempted to respond with something like, A good piece of a is as close as the end of my armBy the way, that is the title of a real song I know.
