What was spectacular (besides the very high prices) was the parade of customers picking up BIG expensive cakes to take home or the office at 11:30 AM on a Thursday. In 30 minutes they probably sold 12 cakes.

Like many others (Hoeny Baked Ham comes to mind) it just might be a temporary fad.

They used to sell them at my local Whole Foods years ago. They’ve been around a while. I didn’t know they had actual bakeries. Or maybe they didn’t back then? But I’m not from Texas so they must have had a deal with certain stores to sell them. They carried different flavors of the minis and large ones too.
