In town for the parade. Must bring a few King Cakes back. Who has the best? Preferably not too far from Campus.

These are good but they're really small and not worth the price or hassle to get them.

I felt the same way about them.

Calandro’s would probably get my vote.

Nanette Mayhall, hands down. She's a pastry chef that works out of her home and supplies many BR restaurants with their desserts. Unfortunately, getting one of her king cakes is liking trying to get a ticket to the natty.

The OP is trying to get a cake before leaving town and you jackasses are recommending he either drive to Central or not get one at all from Nannette.

These threads always turn into the same argument with twice as many downvoted as posts
