You can't have your cake and snort it too.

The feds arrested the reputed drug courier caught smuggling two rum and coke cakes into the U.S. through Kennedy Airport — cocaine, that is.

Romel Samuels was selected for examination Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers after he stepped off a JetBlue flight from originating in Guyana, according to a complaint filed in Brooklyn Federal Court.

Two women wearing a makeshift diaper stuffed with cocaine tried to get into JFK airport but were stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Jan. 26, 2013.

Yudishtir Maharaj was busted for allegedly smuggling cocaine stuffed inside goat meat at JFK airport.

Samuels, 30, was carrying a duty-free bag containing two rum cakes which apparently aroused the officers' suspicion.

"When one of the cakes was cut, CPB officers discovered a white pasty substance," Homeland Security special agent Dan Donahue stated in the complaint.
