McKenzie’s is not real King Cake IMO. It’s nothing but a loaf of bread with sugar on top.
Everyone who says they like McKenzies the best always mentions growing up or their childhood so I am to only assume no one really likes them, it’s just a nostalgia thing.

Just curious as to how you were fooled.
And yes their cakes aren’t good

The McKenzie King Cakes of my youth in the 70's are far better than any of these over glorified Cinnamon Rolls of today mascarading as a King Cake.

And here I was thinking my wife was batshit crazy for spending $20 on a Randazzo's King Cake last weekend.
McKenzie's King Cakes were garbage.

McKenzie’s King Cakes of the 70’s and 80’s were the grossest thing on the planet.
I refused to eat these as a kid- they were that horrid. Tasted like dry bread with hard colored granulated sugar which literally fell off the slice when you took a bite. And they had cherries baked into the ring!!! They were disgusting. People ate them for ‘tradition’- not that they actually liked them. Sort of like fortune cookies.
It wasn’t until Randazzo’s came out in the early 80’s that I started to actually want king cake.

You’re not refined enough to enjoy a loaf of brioche with sugar on top. Stick to your cinnamon roll with icing and filling.

Tell me you never had a Mackenzie petit four without telling me you never had a Mackenzie petit four.

This. When I grew up that was pretty standard design for king cakes. The white icing king cakes weren't real popular back then.
