Dice’s creative cakes. they have the old fashioned potatoe fastnachts
Good to know that someone still makes the potato version. IMHO the best!
Great article, thanks!
Do you know if any of these places ship fastnachts?? (looking for next year; no fastnachts in Florida!)
Kirbyville Farm Market ships. That’s the only one I know for sure offers it. Check their Facebook page – they listed all their shipping prices on there this year.
