King Cake

[rdm227]

I know a lot of options are based off of personal preference, but who makes the best King Cake? I have to order 5 for a conference.

It needs to be in the Baton Rouge or New Orleans area. I live in Prairieville but work in New Orleans.

Please see why you like or dislike a certain place.

Randazzo's.

But a lot of my family likes the cream cheese one from HI-do bakery in terry town

Caluda's!!! They make great filled king cakes.

I'd give Antoine's a close second.

Manny Randazzo's. Some others may be good, but the gold standard is Manny's.

Now that I think of it, Maurice's is pretty good. Randazzo's is still the go to

You're already in Prairieville, go check Ralph's on Hwy 44@Germany. Calandro's or Ambrosia in BR also have good "fancy" king cakes, like Turtle. But for a standard cake, Ralph's is it... none of that colored sugar crap that gets everywhere

Haydels is my fave.

Hi-Do Bakery in New Orleans. They are simply spectacular!! http://www.bestofneworleans.com/gambit/hiandmdashdo-bakery/Content?oid=1256784

These guys are artists!!!

Add another vote for Randazzos! Its one block east of Severn (N Hullen?), and about a block south of W Esplanade.

Last year I went the weekend before Mardi Gras... never again. 3 block long line!

Thanks for all the suggestions

Randazzos. We have one on the Northshore and don't have the line

Randazzo's isn't as good as everyone says it is. Add the fact that you have to throw elbows to get one and it's lost all appeal to me.

Berry Town Produce in Ponchatoula has a pretty good King Cake.

 

[CUJOHUNTER]

I'll throw my elbow for a Randazzo king cake anytime!

Where Yat Redstickchick,
McKenzies got closed down because the sink was all mildewed.
Cant go wrong with Randazzos or Haydels

Another vote for Ralph's supermarket on hwy 44 (not 42) at Germany road (hwy 931). Strawberry, blueberry and pecan with cream cheese is freakin awesome.

Randazzo's king cakes hands down

 

[Robbie]

Randazzo's all the way!
The wait in line sucks, but it's worth it!

Randazzo & Hi-Do is my go to.
