I am a slut for cheesecake

Unfortunately I need to be gluten free.

Which makes it a $35 cheesecake thats also smaller. Fuck you shoprite, and fuck you gastrointestinal system in my body.

That's way too much for cheesecake, who's your cake guy?

The main ingredient in cheesecake is cream cheese, and you need like 2 lbs (32 oz) for an average cake, so that's immediately like $9 before all other ingredients

Key lime pie is our benchmark, a new brand will appear for $7.99 or something, and then 3 weeks later they hike the price up to $14. I am not eating a $14 key lime pie from Kroger. Fuck right off with that.

It's funny tho how junk food like pies, cakes, and especially CANDY have taken such an inflationary hike - it's definitely got me eating better, and I am kind of glad for it (and we prove yet again that excise taxes work towards public health, these ones were just done for profit instead of funding waterways or clean air or some shit).

My local grocery store's bakeshop sometimes puts up an 8-inch boston cream cake for only $12. I don't know why it's so cheap (a similar sized chocolate cake is $18-$22), but I can't stop myself from buying it when it's available. I can't believe a cake that good costs just $12.

Idk, depends how good it is. In today's market, ≤$2/serving is actually pretty good even for middling handmade baked goods. One slice at a restaurant would be 3 times that, on the low end, the high end could be the whole $17 or more. But also, yeah, no one needs cheesecake lol.

You can freeze leftover cheesecake.

Cake mix is $5.
