How would I ship royal icing decorations so they don't break?

I have a good friend who lives in another state and is begging me to make her some RI characters (Diego & related characters), and I would love to do them -- but how can I ship them without having them break?!

Thanks for your ideas!!!

I'd make certain that they're completely dry and then wrap them in some toilet paper. I'd then unroll lots of TP into a small box into which they'd fit comfortably. I'd put more TP on top of them once they're nested in the box, seal the box, and then pack that box inside a larger box that has packing peanuts in it. The peanuts would need to cover the entire box.

I'd mail it next day delivery by the USPS in order to limit handling.

I've mailed cookies this way and it worked perfectly.

How about wrapping them in that bubble wrap, it might work?

Because I'm the paranoid type, I would definitely make some spares in case they don't all survive.

wrap them as you would a piece of china, because they are fragile. I would use bubble wrap around each one individually (i do that with shipping cookies and never a problem) good luck
