Bake A Name For Yourself (Meta)

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is what you need to make a crust
What can I say about this puzzle? I could probably come up with another breadful pun, but in the end I think I'll just let the puzzle title and the meta note speak for themselves. Good luck! Answer and explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=79301#p79301
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!

    Fun puzzle, Ben! Thanks!
    • Mike D 10:16 · 2022-01-11T14:44:56.302Z
      Fun one! Made me hungry though 😂
      • boharr 3s · 2022-01-11T15:14:33.936Z
        Tough grid. Fun meta.
        • Carolyn 3s · 2022-01-11T17:50:22.673Z
          Fun! Thanks so much.

            Nice! I appreciate the geeky entries (36A, 47A, 50D).
            • Wendy S HeadinHome 25:51 · 2022-01-12T00:18:31.288Z
              Needed a lot of google for the grid, but the answer was quick and fun to figure out… though I still don’t know what clue 64A means!
              • benchen71 constructor · 2022-01-12T02:12:12.287Z
                The actress Nan Martin starred in "Goodbye, Columbus" playing the mother of the central character. Maybe I should have gone for a clue involving a Bobbsey twin, instead!

                    That was a super obscure one for sure!
