I know this topic has probably been exhausted here but coming to town for the parades this weekend and was planning on picking up a couple Twins king cakes.

I'm a big cinnamon roll fan and those seem to be pretty cinnamon forward, but I wonder if they can hold up to the social media hype.

I have also heard Kellers is fire.

What's the consensus here?

Ive heard a decent amount of positive reviews on Twins.

My personal favorite is Caluda's cream cheese.

Twins king cakes.

I thought they were overpriced for the size and it did not stay fresh long. It was hard as a rock by the next day.

I got a cream cheese one and it was disgustingly sweet. I took one bite. It was like a coffee cake

Much prefer Keller's

I hear a lot of negative and it's high priced. Though everyone I've seen reviews from bought it from a reseller.


My rankings so far.

Best cheap king Cake - Joes fried king cake
Best classic king cake - Manny Randazzos
Best New style king cake - Dong Phoung

Twins is overrated. They are pushing hard on social media. Kellers is vastly better, and honestly there’s much more in the Lafayette area that are superior to Twins.

Keller’s is good, but Sunny Akers is also very good.

Twins was recommended to me by Lafayette local friend. I picked up a few for Friends recently up in NorthLa & found the cream cheese, Bavarian & pecan praline VERY underwhelming & extremely overhyped. I get putting filling on-top, but they leave a large hallow cake. It kinda sucked actually.

Yesterday we had a Randazzo's cake and a Keller's cake in our kitchen. The Keller's cake was gone before a quarter of the Randazzo's cake was eaten. I tried a little sliver of both, and Keller's was superior.

kellers is the best then there is everyone else. to be honest it is hard to go from kellers to anything else besides some of the higher end ones from nola.

Was told this same thing back in January. Stopped and got one on the way to TX. Worst king cake I've ever had. They shouldn't be allowed to call it king cake. It was a donut. A big arse $70 donut. And it wasn't even a good donut.
