Danish Pastry guinea pigs needed
Dervacumen:
I thought this might garner me some real feedback since nobody here knows me well enough to refrain from hurting my feelings.
I'm a few months out from launching my Danish pastry business, and one of the things I'll be testing is the mailing of pastry once ordered over the internet. I have a few ideas, but what I really need is a group of people who will receive my pastry, do final preparation at home, consume, and then give feedback. Options include selling cooked but frozen, ready to heat, and secondly selling raw and frozen, ready to defrost and cook. This is high end stuff, so the targeted clientele wouldn't have a problem reading and interpreting final stages of baking. I still need to know which one results in the better product.
So the call is going out for willing participants in a product review. No charge for the pastry. Currently I'm checking on viable shipping methods. BTW, any ideas? Anyone order a baked good over the internet?
Any and all ideas welcome.

I can't say I've ever had a Danish Pastry. I'm not sure if that makes me unbiased or if I will not know a good one if I tasted it but I can certainly give my opinion anyway!

First image in my mind when reading the title was a bunny with a pancake on it's head.

I am 100% down to test and my wife has beaucoup d'experience with these type of mail order products. Usually the big cost isn't in the shipping but in the packaging, insulated boxes with dry ice packs. She sent fresh baked goods all the time to Iraq and Afghanistan from the States and Europe and everyting was edible, although I understand a lot of cooked products are more stable than their uncooked components, but these were taking 10 days to get to me and were fine. We even had a birthday cake show up and the cold pack was still relatively cool to the touch.

I'd be happy to participate. I've only had baked goods shipped to me once when my sister sent a box of pain au chocolat to us from William Sonoma. Good luck on your business. I imagine that's super exciting and maybe a bit nerve racking.
