She's a bit of a princess. Just Trust me. She doesn't cook or clean or do anything domestic. She directs others.

Trust me, mil is the type who would then say... "Oh don't worry! I got the ingredients anyways. You can get started in the kitchen now!"

Than I would either half ass it or just be like, "I'm sorry, i can't. I'm so tired. I'm sure you understand." Let her know beforehand that you dont think you;ll be up to it. If DH has such a problem with this then you can hand him the recipe and he can make it when you get to MIL's.

I am def not going to bring it, but should I make it after a day of traveling??

Sure, why not? Does it require constant whisking for hours? Is it physically difficult to make? If not, then make it to add your own dish to the meal.

Op, I wouldn't make it after hours of travel, no matter how easy it is to make. Mil is rude. Plain and simple.

Don't bother making it, what a ridiculous request. When you get there say it was confiscated.

Lol!

Don't want to, have to. My annoying ass MIL asked me to make it for tgiving dinner. We have a 2 hour flight and a FIVE HOUR DRIVE on tgiving day to her house. I have no desire nor do I think it's feasible to cook a dessert that she wants to serve for dinner after 6+ hours of travel. So I wanted to see if I could make it in advance.

Can you tell I don't care for her?

I think it will be confiscated, especially since its homemade. Make it when you get there, or tell MIL too bad (in nicer words of course).

+1000 It sounds like a diarrhea nightmare.

When it comes to bringing items through checkpoints, we've seen just about everything. Traveling with food or gifts is an even bigger challenge. Everyone has favorite foods from home that they want to bring to holiday dinners, or items from their destination that they want to bring back home.

Not sure about what you can and can't bring through the checkpoint? Here's a list of liquid, aerosol and gel items that you should put in your checked bag, ship ahead, or leave at home if they are above the permitted 3.4 oz.

Cranberry sauce
Cologne
Creamy dips and spreads (cheeses, peanut butter, etc.)
Gift baskets with food items (salsa, jams and salad dressings)
Gravy
Jams
Jellies
Lotions
Maple syrup
Oils and vinegars
Perfume
Salad dressing
Salsa
Sauces
Snow Globes
Soups
Wine, liquor and beer
You can bring pies and cakes through the security checkpoint, but they are subject to additional screening.

While you can bring wrapped gifts through the checkpoint, TSA officers may have to unwrap a gift to take a closer look inside. We recommend that you wrap gifts after your flight or ship them ahead of time. This way you will avoid having to open them during the screening process.
