Evan Roberts couldn’t even properly pronounce or identify a tres leches cake, let alone be responsible for knowing its meaning – but his in-laws can, so thank them for a poignant moment on Tuesday’s Carton & Roberts Show.
With just three full shows to go (Thursday’s is an hour due to Yankees coverage), the Carton & Roberts train is in its final homestretch, and Evan’s in-laws wanted to send Craig a nice gift, which they did on Tuesday: a tres leches cake from Neri’s Bakery in Port Chester.
Evan’s in-laws are Mexican, and in the Mexican culture, a tres leches cake is seen as celebratory, a must-have for all special occasions – especially one wishing someone well in their next step. So, a tres leches cake it was, although Mr. Roberts had a little fun at the bakery: he had them put a congratulatory message on it to wish one of Craig’s unwitting alter egos all the best on his move to TV full-time:
There was only one other problem, too…Craig isn’t a fan of tres leches, or “any other soaked cake,” and so while he took a bite to be polite (after hacking it with a scissors Vincent von Vincent found randomly), it wasn’t the rainbow cookie he would’ve liked.
Oh well…best of luck in your future endeavors, Chris!
