I recommend! King Cake Favorites - Updated!

2/12/2021

I love the excitement of Mardi Gras and the many opportunities it brings to gather with friends...and it's the season to enjoy King Cake!  And it's the perfect way to gather with small groups - your pod, during the pandemic. 

I began this story in Feb of 2020 and have added a few more favorites! I still love everything from last year and there's more now on my list!

Louisiana has so many wonderful bakeries. I enjoy trying everything from the classic homespun cinnamon-flavored King Cakes we grew up and other offerings including 3 that I'm highlighting below.


​What's your favorite? Leave a note to spread the word.

Their version of the traditional galette de rois. This is phenomenal! Flaky pastry is filled with pecan citrus frangipane! Local artist Jackie Brown makes the feves....Availability is limited. Call ahead or email to order. I emailed my order and they were very responsive. Get the large!

This new bakery is a great addition to the city.

Haydel's Bakery
A crowd-pleaser! This is a classic offering from Haydel's: Flaky pastry with praline filling that's topped with caramel icing and decorated with pecans!  

I picked mine up from the new 3117 Magazine Street outpost. For everything Haydel, visit their website or go to the mother store.

Crawfish King Cake
from

Bywater Bakery
Garlic and butter brioche filled with warm Crawfish au Gratin and topped with colorful Parmesan Cheese.

Serve it warm with a green salad and you'll thank me later! I love this casual neighborhood gem in the Bywater. I haven't tried their sweet King Cake offerings and I'm tempted to do that soon with such heavenly sounding flavors as their Chantilly King Cake which is filled with Marscarpone Whipped Cream and Fresh Berries, and their Bouille King Cake that's filled with a Cajun custard....amongst their many offerings. 

They are also offering a pop up location in the CBD for King Cake Season at 234 Loyola Street - in the Pythian Market, closed Wednesdays, 8am-6pm.

Sip the flavors of Mardi Gras with this wonderful seasonal take on their ever  popular Bourbon Milk Punch - this version made with rum. It's available to-go for taking in the street side  revelry (HINT!). This is a delightful combination of homemade vanilla ice cream, orgeat syrup, cinnamon, orange, and local Old New Orleans Rum.
