This is a rich and flavorful pastry.
Connoisseurs from all over find them tasty.
However, here is the situation:
Most people around here have an education.

Perhaps that is why these pastries are not selling.
Educated persons can see your bad spelling.

It is not spelled N-A-P-O-L-I-A-N.

One thing can be determined.  It is easy to see.
You do not need intelligence to work in a bakery.
