There's no such thing as discount food shopping in Gustavus, other than hunting and gathering. However, there is Costco, via plane or barge. The Juneau megastore supplies nearly everyone in Gustavus with their staples to the point where all cabinets and refrigerators look identical inside. Soon after arriving to Gustavus Fluffy's friends decided it would be wise to place their own Costco order. Flour, sugar, butter, cheese, craisins, pecans...cake? On the back side of the wholesale catalog was a sheet cake order form. A 9 lb cake (advertised to feed 48) was available for only $16.95! Considering that a single bag of Doritos costs over $6 in Gustavus (better not vacation here, Stephen Colbert!), this is veritably the best food deal in southeast Alaska, regardless of freight charges. Nutritious, perhaps not, but delicious without doubt. What occasion could there be to justify a 48 person cake?
Travel Fluffy Bunny's Birthday!
Her friends decided on the triple chocolate combo -- that is, chocolate cake with chocolate ganache frosting and a chocolate mousse center. And the theme? Amidst the vast options of soccer, skateboard, roses, baseball, dinosaurs, etc, they knew instantly that Fluffy would most appreciate the "Princess" theme. It did not disappoint!
The party didn't stop at the cake...because no party would be for Fluffy if there wasn't a DANCE PARTY! While her friends were feeling tired after a long day, Fluffy just kept on moving!
