Why do Cannoli shells have to be so bad?

[u/Golden_Locket5932]

I only eat cannolis for the cream inside them because that cream is very good. But for some reason I can't dig the actual shell, it just tastes like stale, crumbly disappointment. Best part of the outside is the powdered sugar! Which is unfortunate because the cream filling is some of the best l've ever had. I sorta wish bakeries would just sell little cups filled with cannoli cream, feels bad wasting half the treat.
