when they were located on mimosa years ago, their king cakes were danish pastry, similar to keller's, but much cheaper...but they have apparently changed their recipe since then, because the last time i tried one, it was very donut-y...i didn't care for it compared to what they used to make...

I am a huge fan of pouparts and their king cake is better than most but not better than kellers.

Now the rasberry sacher they make is on another level. They have some great pastries there if anyone likes complex desserts

King Cake review...So we picked up a traditional king cake from Twins fresh out of the oven around 2:00 on Saturday and then went to downtown Keller's after that and all they had were small chocolate, medium apple cinnamon and some large blueberry/creamcheese(I think). Got the one apple cinnamon they had left.

Both were good, but the Keller's was definitely better IMO. Wish they would have had a traditional because that's what I really prefer. Doubt I'd pay $30 again for one from Twins...very small for that price. Keller's medium size was $55 and their small was much bigger than Twins.

My daughter(no pics) is supposed to try and bring us up a Keller's traditional this coming weekend.

I guess I've gotten used to the ones with the white icing on top and the grainy sugar(which I like).

This isn’t in Lafayette but I recently tried a cake from
Champagne’s Marche in Leonville. It was great! They have traditional & filled, but they cover all theirs in white glaze.
