You paid 36 dollars in shipping for an 18 dollar king cake?

That's pretty much the norm for any king cake. I think most bakeries shop out a few king cakes each year.

Sorry that you're poor.

Positively destitute.

This king cake better give me multiple orgasms for that much. There are too many good king cakes in town to bother with all that.

Perhaps for you.

I've never had a king cake that I'd pay $55 for, and I'm not poor. Just cause you got it doesn't make it stupid to spend it.

In the words of the great Billy Gueldner,

quote:

---

“You gone learn tuh-day!”

And in the words of one other famous Bill,

quote:

---

Shall I compare thee to a Ponchatoula king cake?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling strawberries of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his goldsaw bread dough dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course of toasted almonds, untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer of Bavarian cream shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in Jean-Luc's shade
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see chantilly cream
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee

I’ll give ya $42 and you can buy the small. If you don’t love it, simply give me my money back and the rest of the king cake.

P.S. if you don’t love it,

I have a thread on where to get in Nola

Not everybody is as lucky as you to live in the New Orleans area. So, yes, I pay to ship one king cake a year.

King cakes where I live cost $40 - just for the cake. So for a little bit more money, I can have shipped a king cake that I love and that satisfies that taste for home.

For those interested in shipping king cakes, Haydel's is about $48 with shipping, which is one of the best prices I have found. King Cake arrives fresh.

This year, I am trying Dong Phuong for the first time. While the king cake might not give me a big O, it likely will put a big smile on my face.

What I find so funny is Dong Phuong has been making king cakes since the 80’s. They got put on the Beard list, the foodies started posting about them on social media and now all of a sudden it’s considered the holy grail of king cakes. It’s so stupid.
