The New Orleans king cake challenge has me down. Where do you get good king cakes in Houston? Here's what I've tried:

1. Central Market -- no good. Dry, flavorless. Too bready. (grade d).
2. Moeller's Bakery -- surprisingly good. moist, excellent cinnamon flavor (sort of has bite). I give it an A- because there was something slightly off about the icing.

What else you got?

Best place I've found is HEB. Haven't found a bakery on the far northside that has anything good.
Anyone?

Homemade is the way to go. It's really not difficult. Especially if you're a fan of the classic King cake that's not swimming in cream cheese and icing.

Yes I've had them many times. I'm from the Beaumont area. They make a quality product.

Picked one up at Rao's this afternoon. Best one I've had in Houston. I'll be going there from now on.
