I heard a radio commercial this morning claiming that their king cakes "taste and smell like Mardi Gras". That might sound good to a tourist but anyone who has been to Mardi Gras for many years knows that a claim like that is not a positive one.

I love to bitch about king cakes but come on man. At least give a price in a thread about king cake prices.

Sad that a January 6th domestic terrorism supporting company like rouses would co-opt a vibrant multicultural holiday like Mardi Gras in an attempt to make money

Rouses is basically just a target version of champagnes.

Remember to support your local associated grocers grocery store. Rouses can eat my arse. Terrible prices, same selection as the other guys, just sold on name alone.

If you're going to spend the money on a King Cake, I don't know why anyone would not spend the money at a local business/donut shop like Meche's. They are ALL expensive as frick so why not support a local business?

Had family in from out of town 2 weeks ago. I bought one of the better KC's (IMO) in the Lafayette area - Keller's Amaretto Walnut. $65 for a large as it was worth maybe $25, probably cost them $10 to make. Never again at that inflated price.

Their regular size is $20. Egg prices have caused them to charge more. Or so I’m told.

In NOLA you don't hit store, store hits you... and then shoots you a couple of times probably.
