yikes... in NC?!?!

i know you can have them shipped from new orleans.. i have a half eaten one in my kitchen

some of the grocery stores around houston carry them but we're close to louisiana...

maybe try speciality bakeries? you might pay a premium for such short notice

dont forget the baby jesus inside!

I just spoke to someone at whole foods, and they have a few left; they might be gone before I can get over there.

My next place to call is fresh market.

I just found out no one thought about food for an event where free food is implied

2/24/2009 12:40:01 PM

dont eat the baby

2/24/2009 12:41:37 PM

I don't think there will be any dingos in attendance.

2/24/2009 12:43:27 PM

I've never eaten a piece of king cake

but just by looking at them, they don't look that appetizing...all those colors make me kind of sick

2/24/2009 12:51:27 PM

Try Great Harvest Bread Co. There's one in Chapel Hill and one in Cary. I know the one in Greensboro had King Cakes yesterday.

2/24/2009 12:53:58 PM

what's a king cake?

2/24/2009 1:26:23 PM

La Farm Bakery in Cary, NC - but call first. I remember when I worked there they had them. Very tasty, very expensive.

2/24/2009 1:35:40 PM

^^A brightly colored mardi gras cake with a plastic baby in it.

2/24/2009 1:37:49 PM

it's a pretty average tasting cake

2/24/2009 1:42:37 PM

You'll poop glitter for a week! Jk, never had one.

2/24/2009 1:43:24 PM

Whole Foods had them last week.

2/24/2009 2:03:36 PM

2/24/2009 2:05:08 PM

2/24/2009 2:25:26 PM

I somehow doubt ambrosia watches calories.

2/24/2009 3:13:21 PM

she watches them like a high score in pinball

2/24/2009 3:14:30 PM

the cake is ugly as shit, but it tastes wonderful

if anyone is a fatty, its me.. i ate half of one on my own over the course of a week

2/24/2009 3:18:35 PM

2/24/2009 3:19:27 PM
