Will it make it? - Care Packages

If I bake some like cinnamon bread and vaccum seal it, do you think it'd make it ok to Iraq? It took DH about a week to get his last box.

I'll let you know! I made cinnamon muffins yesterday and froze them for about 20 hours and sealed them in tinfoil and tupperware. Shipped today so hopefully they get there without turning green =)

I've never sent bread. Only cookies. As long as it is air tight, it should be fine. The ones I sent took 2 weeks to get to DB and they were totally fine. Still soft. Not hard and dry.

I'm still super scared to even send baked goods...

since you vacuum sealed it, it should be ok.

I think it will only make it safely if you post the recipe for us to make as well
