PROSPECT PARK, PA — There is one place you can get toilet paper in Delaware County, but it's not exactly the kind you're looking for.

Traub's Bakery in Prospect Park is now offering toilet paper cakes.

That's right: cakes that look like the paper product coveted by shoppers amid the new coronavirus outbreak.

The bakery is taking orders — and lots of them for the cakes — which cost $24.95 for large rolls and $12.95 for smaller rolls.

A Traub's baker came up with the idea after being inspired by a joke from a 1994 episode of "Seinfeld" in which Elaine Benes, played by Julia Louis Dreyfuss, while in a public restroom asks a woman in a neighboring stall if she can "spare a square" of toilet paper.
