Nop. If you come down on a Soyuz, they could be delivered within a couple of
days, assuming the astronauts don't eat them all on the way down :-) :-) :-) :-)

Now, once the russians really get their targetting right, they might be able
to eject self-deorbiting capsules from the ISS at the right time so that they
de-orbit and fall in your garden. In fact, they woudln't really need to bake
them on the station, they could use the re-entry heat to bake them :-)

Heck, with the right orbits, you could order cookies and a roast beef and have
them drop into your garden within 90 minutes. This would be a great gimmick
for garden parties.
