You can't go wrong with Haydel's or Randazzo's. They're both good...which one I prefer depends on the day. Flip a coin, they cost about the same.

Gambino's is damn expensive costing nearly 50 bucks for the one I want.

Any other recommendations?



You want the best one or you want a cheap one ?

Either Randazzo's or Haydel's.

Gambino's king cakes suck (Metairie & BR). I would only order your king cake from the Nola area or Northshore. Baton Rouge king cakes aren't that good, except that I had Ambrosia one and it was decent. You'd think with the amount of Nola transplants there that they'd have decent king cake places.

Stupid question, do bakeries freeze the King Cakes before shipping? I'm debating on just hand delivering 400 miles away.

No.
They just make them in the morning and then overnight them that day.
Well that is the way the good places do it. I'm sure some of the cheap places ship cakes that are not fresh.

50 dollars is freaking ridiculous. Does it come with a happy ending also.

I've done Manny Randazzo's and Haydels in the past several years. Randazzos is the superior cake out of those two IMHO.
