A bakery in Ohio is selling coronavirus ‘quarantine cakes’ in the shape of a toilet paper roll.
The “quarantine 15” is the new “freshman 15,” describing the 15 pounds college freshmen supposedly put on during their first year away from home. Now, that catchphrase applies to all of us — the quarantined who have nowhere to go but the pantry.
Bakeries across the country are using this to their advantage. An Ohio baker recently released a new line of “quarantine cakes” in the shape of toilet paper rolls, and the cakes sold out almost immediately. It turns out that Busken Bakery’s cakes are almost as popular as the rolls of toilet paper after which they’re designed.
Of course, Ambrosia Euro American Patisserie and Clarke’s Bakery and Deli are two local establishments that can accommodate your needs, and chances are either can play a “roll” creating cakes to satisfy your pent-up quarantine cravings.
A month ago this would have been WTF? Today may be still too soon but worth a smile anyway. Thanks.
