Mardi Gras Store

The King Cake is an oval shaped bakery delicacy that is a traditionally similar to a brioche that is a sweetened yeast bread. While all King Cakes are decorated with purple, green, and gold icing (or sugar), New Orleanians have become more creative by filling the cakes with an assortment of fillings such as lemon, apple, and pecan cream cheese. Yummy!

Each King Cake comes with a plastic baby. At a party, the King Cake is sliced and served. Each person checks their piece to see if it contains the "baby." The person who gets the baby becomes "King"; for a day, and bound by custom to host the next party and provide the King Cake!

Traditionally, King Cake is served during carnival season which begins on January 6th or the "Twelfth Night" and ends on Mardi Gras Day; however, many people enjoy King Cakes year round. For more on the history this delicious New Orleans treat, click here.

We now sell New Orleans coffee, coffee & chickory, beignet mix, and Cajun potato chips and spices!
