I have developed a fondness for baking, and decided this year
I would like to send people that are very dear to me, some
homemade goodies. My problem is I am not sure what can be mailed
and what can. I know most cookies can, but not sure about any
kind of fruit breads or pies. also if anyone has a recipe for
cheese cake that (of course baked) but can be mailed. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
thank you
sandy
Hello Sandy,
This website has tips about mailing food:
Mailing Food
I would add that it's probably not a good idea to mail cheesecakes or pies at all.
The fruit breads will probably be ok.

Subject: fruitcake
Hi, My name is Carolyn and I am trying to find a recipe for
dark fruitcake that was published in the Womans Day Encyclopedia
of Cooking in the 70s( I hope I have the date right. The recipe
used preserves and fruit juice in it. My husband really likes it,
but we moved and guess what got lost. The recipe book.
Hope you can help. Thanks. Carolyn
Hello Carolyn,
Sorry, the search engines don't turn up any fruitcake recipes from "Woman's Day".
Best I can do is give you a website with a lot of fruitcake recipes. Maybe one will be suitable:
35 Fruitcake Recipes

Subject: Margarine Tub fudge
I have a friend who used to make the best fudge that was given
to friends in a margarine tub ( the one with the lids). It was
not too rich and you could eat it with a spoon out of the tub
after it had hardened. do you know of any such recipes???
Amy
Hello Amy,
I think Amy's talking about "spoon fudge." See:
