Futurama has long been one of my favorite shows. I literally can't even count the number of times I've watched the entire series. There are so many good jokes and fun episodes (except "Jurassic Bark"...

But that’s the only place to buy the Big Cakes and I happened to be near one while I was out and about one day so I decided to stop in. And Oh Man! I’m so glad that I did! They had SOOO much of the Caron Big Cakes on
