King Cake No-No
Jan 25th, 2008 by Nola
I know I have gushed a lot about king cakes lately. And generally, I can’t get enough. But what I witnessed this morning is TOO MUCH!
The office king cakes (one plain, one stuffed) were duly placed in the coffee room this morning. And as I was enjoying a nice slice (or two), someone pointed out something that made my jaw stop in mid-bite: A BOWL OF ICING.
Yes; apparently the bakery (following Belle’s lead, I won’t name the culprit–but it too was a bakery on the Northshore) gave the girl picking up the cakes “extra icing.” These cakes already have so much white icing that I scrape some off. And now they are adding a nasty bowl of white icing as a side? Why? Seriously, who could need/want MORE WHITE ICING?
It was such a spectacle that other co-workers were hearing about it and had to come see the “bowl of nasty” for themselves. We are all aghast. It is just too weird. Who sells a cake (king or otherwise) and offers extra icing? I hate that I know the answer to this question.
Stumble it!

Eww…it reminds me of those people who have their pancakes floating in syrup….gross!
That’s like dipping glazed donuts in sugar. GAH! Sometimes you can have too much of a good thing.
Oof! I can feel my arteries clogging just THINKING about that…
That’s not right. Besides how gross I’d imagine that type of frosting would look in a container, the lighter the frosting is, the better I find the king cake. And I’m finding that my day old Ran-somethingorother’s king cake is actually more to my tastes a day stale. I think I like it drier.
Boo for rain cancelling parades.
Believe it or not, we haven’t yet had a King Cake at work. ‘Course, we are in the midst of a three-month long Fat Girls Club aka The Biggest Loser. *grin*
Don’t worry, I will send Amber right over to take a dip.
Why the hell are you getting a king cake from the Northshore? There ain’t nothing good on the Northshore. Teehee!!
Eww, extra icing?
I was one who stood in the rain for the one parade that made it through the rain. My kids, though, wimped out.

Could you take the side of icing home to keep in your fridge for a late night snack?? I totally would have stolen the icing.
Heh.
passin thru via blog hoppers…cheers
That doesn’t sound good at all. Nope, just gross.
ewwwwww
i’m not a big cake fan and most frosting needs to be scraped off of cake anyway. but a side dish of it?
/me shudders
That is absolutely nauseating. I love king cake, but ewww! Just ewwww!
