Can you fly with home baked goods?

Yes, as long as they’re solid, not liquid. They can’t be gift wrapped, either. I’ve flown numerous times with entire loaves of bread and encountered no problems.

Nice, thank you!

I've flown back with canolis from Boston

Depending on the TSA agent, particular airport, and perceived threat level, you might encounter problems with cream fillings. No, seriously. Some won’t look twice, others will deem it a liquid. Of course, if it is a cream filled doughnut purchased after security, you shouldn’t have any problems. Some consider jelly a solid, others will make you toss or put into checked baggage.

I say this as a person who has been required to unwrap and lift the bread on a sandwich in my handbag. You never know what’s gonna trigger the additional screening. A literal butter knife, still in sealed packaging, got me pulled at LGA early last year. It wasn’t too long, or sharp...TSA decided that it was “too serrated”.

I could actually see those being dangerous

girlfriend baked a loaf of zucchini bread for me to take and wrapped it in aluminum foil before putting it in my carry-on. Needless to say it was flagged and tested for looking like a brick of china white.
