<p>I am reviving this thread because when I saw my D yesterday, she told me that her friend’s mother had mailed the most delicious pie to her friend for her birthday. She successfully mailed her D’s favorite, a homemade blackberry pie, from the Pacific Northwest to the Philadelphia area! I was incredulous, but I was told that it was a double crust pie, she mailed it unbaked, she packed it in frozen sticks of butter to keep it cold and protected, and then packed it really well around the butter (I don’t know how)!!! Apparently it arrived intact and was delicious!</p>
<p>I don’t think I would have dared to try this, but it worked!!!</p>
<p>Marie Callendar’s berry pies are delicious! You buy them frozen (at the grocery store) & bake yourself. Easy and no more expensive than the price of the berries.</p>
<p>Looks like the site mails gift cards but not actual pies, alas.</p>
<p>But you can overnight anything frozen, if you include dry ice. And Meijer’s sells dry ice. ;)</p>
<p>Have you ever tried Glad Press & Seal Wrap? It has a little bit of stickiness on the underside. If you pull it tight over any smoothish-edged pan, it forms a really taut seal. You could cover it with a layer of aluminum foil to boot.</p>
<p>I agree with those who say the pie will be delicious, no matter what shape it arrives in.</p>
<p>Since this thread seems to have been revised. I did mail my son an apple pie for Pi day. I baked it at home, even added a pi symbol in pie crust. I sent it express (a very expensive pie after I added in the mailing cost). I had baked it and then froze it. I put in in a freezer bag too. I didn’t bother with dry ice or anything to help keep it cold, but I did wait to send it until the last pick up of the day. My son said it arrived in good shape & was delicious! (Next year maybe I’ll do a smaller pie so it doesn’t cost so much to send).</p>
<p>I love to make pies. I’ll have to try this–but first he has to pick a college and leave home. In the meantime, I’ll make lots of pies we can eat together.</p>
<p>DS took in two pies 9apple and cherry) to school for Pi Day – we cut pi symbols into the top crust. He read this thread along with me and agreed that we should continue the pie-mailing tradition when he goes off to school. (and my son wonders where he gets it from…)</p>
