You know, to prevent 10 threads a day asking who has the best and how to ship.

Post your top 5
Bitch about people who don't honor "getting the baby"
Filled or not
Make fun of suckers who buy Sucre King Cake
Best in NOLA
Best in BR


Let's keep the board open for the craft beer and "Where to eat in New Orleans?" threads.



Manny Randazzo Ships
Nonna Randazzo Ships
Calandros doesn't ship
Gambinos Bakery Ships
Dong Phoung doesn't ship
Navarre's doesn't ship
Haydel's ships
Hi Do doesn't ship
Sucre who cares if they ship

My Manny’s arrived this evening. I don’t care if it’s early.

Filled is gross
Sucre isn’t bad
I prefer Camellia City Randazzos, Haydels close 2nd
Rouses has the best value.
I don’t know anything about BR confections other than some strawberry cake from Ambrosi.

Haydel’s is my favorite. I send them out every year. Very easy to order and all the people I send them to love them. Not a fan of filled.

I was wondering what Louisianans thought of Rouse's king cakes. I bought one at the Rouse's in Gulf Shores when I was down there last week, and thought it was pretty dang good. But I live in Bama and not versed in quality King Cake. I had the Bavarian Cream one. Would buy again.

If you like Randazzo types, I rather Antoines on the West Bank over Manny. Use to be a lot easier to get, but they have gotten a lot busier in the past few years. The Christmas one that is Carmel icing is pretty damn good too.

That one looks damn good BR.

You mean Antoine's right? And yes they are #2 for me. Haydel #3. Have not had Dong Phuong yet, but will try to this year.

PSA - The king cake at district donuts is horrible.

Keller's in Lafayette, the downtown version, not the bullshite in Youngsville, is the GOAT
