Ambrosia in BR



Got two last week. The cream cheese one wasn't cooked completely. Was very doughy to the point of being raw dough on the corners. I don't think they rotated it.

Not to mention, ambrosia isn't even the best one on siegen lane...much less BR or in the New Orleans "area".

That looks like a terrible king cake to me I hate "traditional" king cake like that. Dried sugar on top of bread......

I like icing style king cakes like Randazos

Ambrosia is horrible, and not just their king cakes. Their top seller is their "fresh strawberry cake" which is a cake "frosted" with Cool whip ( ) and strawberries -- yet people pay an arm and a leg for it

What's so special about them? Did you get a traditional one or a filled one?

My largest issue with the Manny Randazzo's cake is the ghetto looking sprinkles on top. I like the colored sugar on king cakes.

Dong Phong is really good. There is a smaller bakery uptwn that has a good one but I forgot their name.

Tartine is #1 by a long shot. Unbelievable King Cake.

Anyone had a slice from Willa Jeans? It looked good when I went last year, but the price kept me from ordering. Randazzos is the best I've had.

O'Delice? Had one last Saturday and it was great. Tartine has a great one as well. I'm not even a fan of king cake, but I do like those two.

These are so amazing. Nanette makes the absolute best, and if you get them filled, she makes homemade fillings that are fresh, sweet and wonderful.
