We'd like to thank everyone for the past 30 years of support but due to Dudley's physical health conditions we will have to close very soon.

Anyone have a CaptainJ47 translator handy? I had one but think it disappeared with my GI Joe.

I think he is trying to say that he is related to some of the Cals family and will text them to get the scoop but does not want to do it this late because said relative has small children


Well, that is my take of his post anyway

From their facebook page:It is Dudley's back and neck, not anything life threatening. Thanks for the concerns.

Sorry Martini for the poor speech. My fault I was exhausted last night.

Tiger paw got it right. I am waiting for Cal's son to text me back with an update.

Payless, aka Leblanc's, aka Fraische Marsche, should make an offer for the recipes and name.

Open up a "Cal's Bakery" in each store. Really they are selling the pastries and brownie ends. The cakes weren't their market so Payless already has that covered.

Not sure if the Cal's name is well known enough outside of AP.

Speaking to someone it sounds like they may be open a month more. Land and building were sold but not the company. Not sure what that means for the future of the recipes.

Lmao I'm a little late but I worked there and the owner was not Cal, it was his nephew. So you couldn't have been getting a text from Cals son.
