Nutella Epiphany joins the daily lineup for 2021!
We knew we had a hit with our Epiphany King Cake when we sold out on the first day of release in 2019 and it has gotten even more popular with the release of last year's Cream Cheese and Praline flavors. In 2021, Nutella Epiphany joins the daily lineup! We are so proud of our collaboration with Gambino's Bakery and pleased and thankful by the response!
