Nope, to keep it fair those of us in CA will have to leave them in the car for an extra three days... :lol
But really Fedex and to some extent the USPS can get your goods pretty much anywhere in the US in two to three days. Being in the same state might not matter that much.

Mikezilla, I forgot to mention that you have to pay the "California Housing Expense Tax". That's probably in the range of $60-$70. JK.
Vigo:
Only one additional tax in california? You guys are getting better. :lol

So many good ideas here, almost too fast for my brain. :applaud:
Right now I have a limited selection of flavors, so each of you can choose what you want on your pastry given the following set of choices and suggestions.
Apricot
Cherry
Pear
Apple (includes a trace of alcohol)
Almond Paste
Pastry Cream
Cheese
I would highly suggest including Almond Paste in your selection, but it's not necessary. Additionally I wouldn't choose more than one fruit because it confuses the issue.
Your best bet, IMO is Almond Paste and a fruit, or cheese and a fruit. I can honestly say I haven't made one with cheese, but I'm accomplished enough that I promise it won't be bad. I will need to offer it as an option when I go live, so I might as well do it now.
Each of these sample pastries will be a ring about 7" in diameter. If I can figure out how to package other shapes without destroying them I will. I'm making a few batches for a Valentines Day event and I'll post pictures.
Each pastry will be topped with a sugar glaze and sliced almonds.
For this first phase I'll send finished baked goods since they do not require refrigeration, and I can better afford this little experiment. I'll continue to investigate the dry ice situation for the frozen option. It may not be reasonable without a pretty significant up-charge. That said, to truly appreciate these, fresh baking is pretty key.
Thanks for everyone's enthusiasm! I got some very good feedback this morning from an event I did on Friday. I hope they translate well through the mail.

Almond paste + cherry sounds awesome! :cheers:
