Best King Cakes...

Post by Jesse »

Who do yall think has the best King Cakes? I had one at my folks' New Years party from Gambinos and it was damn good. Mandeville Bake Shop has always made a very good one. I've been out of the city for almost three years and I know I'm not current. Who's your favorite?

Haydels cream cheese filled.

Manny Randazzos is better sometimes, but they sell out so quick during mardi gras that it is hard to get one.

I'm a Randazzo's fan myself.

Heard this morning that a Randazzo's outfit (I believe the ex-wife) will be selling out of Sal's Snowball stand on Metairie Rd. That is all but 3 blocks from me. Uh oh!
