That's a marvelous idea.

If they are the same as those I once ate in Barcelona—really tiny, perfect details, like small artworks and excellent shape and colors—you should go for this.

Question is: how long is the durability. Probably you have to find expensive delivery services for food with a cold chain distribution.

But the idea is good, I never saw such pastries somewhere else again. Are they the same in Portugal?

EDIT: I found a link (think it was Bubo): http://www.cocoonbarcelona.com/blog/favourite-pastries-barce...

They're actually rather different: http://saltofportugal.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/pasteis-de...

But yes, it'd be hard to keep them fresh while not inflating the costs too much (I don't expect them to be sold as expensive delicatessen).

I imagine fresh food would have a bunch of weird import restrictions.
