Gotta make your own!

I started making my own a few years ago when they kept being lost in transit.

Caluda's offers 2 day shipping that's not as expensive. I paid like $53 last year.

Yep, they can order them themselves. I ain't paying that.

At this point, it seems like it would be cheaper to send bakers go to their house and put one in the oven for them and come back and fill or ice them on the next lap.

maaaaaaaan fuck a whole buncha that. I'd be like "You get a couple of slices in a ziploc and bubble wrapped in a Priority Mail box. God speed."

They’ve all been like that the last few years. Maybe not Caluda’s, @nolashan.bsky.social, but they sell out early. Now I know why.

Tbf, it feels like the days of king cakes being a sweet, small treat are done. They're all $20+ each for plains and closer to $30+ now. Well, except for the Rouses or Walmart ones.
