Your biggest problem will be making sure they are thoroughly cooled
and completely dry before you put them away. Any moisture at all and
they will get very soft overnight in a sealed container. Otherwise, I
think you're good to go.

They are easy to make and allow a terrific presentation. Your ideas
for them sound great.
