Patti LaBelle’s caramel cake is coming to Atlanta Wal-Marts this week.

The mega-retailer is offering Atlanta customers free bites of the cake.

Shoppers can get early access to the Grammy award-winning singer’s caramel cake, beginning Jan. 14, while supplies last.

The nationwide rollout is the week of Jan. 18.

Atlanta resident Imara Canady got a jump on many shoppers and snagged a vanilla pound cake earlier this month and called it “divine.”

LaBelle made a splash on the internet when James Wright Chanel sang the praises of her sweet potato pie. The pie flew off shelves over the holidays.

The premium three-layered yellow cake is filled with buttercream and drizzled with a rich caramel pour. The price is $13.94.

If you visit one of four designated stores from Thursday through Saturday, you can taste a free sample. Sample hours are from 1 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Sunday and from 11 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. on Saturday.

Here’s a list of the stores:
