Randazzos cream cheese is always going to be the standard for me

Doesn't Randazzo's sell out/ or being out on wait list near mardi gras? I don't want to order one this early. Can anyone confirm?

You place the order now and select your delivery date. I know that this is how Haydel's and Randazzo's does it. Those dates closer to Mardi Gras will fill up fast.

I've only had their King Cake twice but both times it was dry as hell and not very flavorful.


There is literally no way you had Manny Randazzo king cake and thought it was dry as hell... and certainly not twice.

For real! A randazzo is the only baked good that somehow gets MORE moist the longer you have it... it defies logic!

I suspect that this will be a highly unpopular opinion, but I actually prefer Ambrosia Bakery in BR for shipping. I've done the following in the past years and think I liked the Ambrosia best:

Manny Randazzo's
Randazzo's Camellia City Bakery
Haydel's
Sucre

If you want a Randazzo's and can't get the ship date you want from them, try Antoine's. Pretty similar of a cake. They did a shitty job of shipping last time I ordered from them and got a second cake out of it. First cake was edible, but looked like a firecracker went off in the box, so it wouldn't be something you wanted to give out to people.

Good tip, didn't realize they were shipping this year. I tried a DP King cake last year, be far the best I've had. Just ordered one for late February. They only have a few dates left at the moment

Oh wow didn't realize that was new to this year. They only deliver Monday and Wednesday I think. Glad I ordered one the other day because all Monday's and Wednesday's were available. And that was only on Friday like two days ago.
