Now you've done it. On this coldish wettish day, I either write a nasty letter to Gary Morse that he allowed a cold, wet day to happen here, or I go down 466 to Publix and buy us a crumb cake.

Off to Publix.

That is great news about the Yalaha Bakery! I wonder if it will be at Brownwood.

They are not necessarily bad products, but they are not scratch made in the stores, as the grocery companies would like you to believe.

Thanks for confirming what I suspected. I remember watching a decorator at Publix one day take cakes out of a cardboard box and start to frost them. They were covered with cellophane.That's when I realized they were not fresh.

But they are still wonderful...and dense and full of flavor and freshly iced and not stale.

I think not fresh is inaccurate.

But I am not an expert like a lot of others. But I do love to cook.

AND I think Publix baked goods are yummy. Try their carrot cake and get back to me.

Yes!!!!!!! Thats Coffee Cake or Crumb Cake. Yummy Years ago, used to go to bakeries on sunday after church, and order a dozen crumb buns, wrapped in paper with string around package.

most bakery cakes are bought frozen and iced at the store. just too costly to bake cakes at the store level. notice how many cakes that are on display and guess how many are thrown out after the sell by date. frozen is the new fresh!

A bakery employee at Publix told me the cannolis are from Ferrara.

The only thing Publix bakes on premises is their rolls. A friend of mine works at one of their stores as a bakery clerk and she said all the cakes are brought in frozen and thawed out. The frosting is made there but it too comes in in a huge cube that they add water and corn syrup to.

I don't care how they fix them. They are danged good.

I consider myself an expert in this field because I have baked a good many cakes in my life and love to bake and cook.

But more importantly, I have eaten a fair share too.

So whether they use heneggs as they say in Ohio, or giraffe eggs, whether they use the dreaded preservatives, whether they are bent stapled or mutilated, they are danged good cakes.

Hope you have one for your next Happy Birthday, Gocubsgo..whenever it is.

(Ask for the chocolate iced chocolate and put some nice Publix French Vanilla ice cream next to it)

I remember how loyal I used to be to Krogers.

I think it is the chip in my neck.
