"Or maybe you're bound for the airport in the coming weeks, in which case, you're probably holding your breath over how bad the security lines will be. Taking the time out to travel over the holiday season is a privilege, but every journey also comes with its share of headaches. For example, if your loved ones are expecting to receive a batch of your famous cupcakes, the challenge of how to safely pack them can just about drive you up the wall."
"The truth is, bakers travel across the country all the time to deliver their creations to customers, usually at weddings or large events. Some folks even manage to take sourdough starters on the plane with them, keeping their babies alive throughout vacation. All it takes to safely transport baked goods is a little bit of foresight and a few simple materials."
Holiday travel often involves transporting baked goods to family and events, which poses risks such as staleness and being smushed. Bakers routinely transport cakes, cookies, breads, and even sourdough starters by plane or car using foresight and simple materials. Key strategies include separating layers of stacked items with parchment paper, wax paper, or beeswax to prevent crumbs and sticking. Parchment withstands heat and suits baking purposes, while wax paper is useful for non-oven tasks such as lining counters and separating layers. Proper packing techniques and modest supplies can preserve texture, shape, and freshness during car or air travel.
