I think all king cakes are overrated. I've never understood the hype.

Simply because people are willing to buy it.

Back in the early 80`s a few bakeries started filling King Cakes and it was more expensive. Seems like around 2000 it started to gain popularity.

I hear there are some places making Gentilly King Cakes. I want that.

Again, this is an asinine statement considering the fact that the first king cakes had filling and continue to this day to have filling.

Do you also hate shopping with your wife that makes more than you and seeing soy boys with N95’s?

I have a theory. It basically involves stale cakes because they aren’t turning, and/or people who rather than make moister cakes fill it it sugar crap rather than just make better cakes. Also at play however, is our insatiable need for ever sweeter and sweeter crap to put in our mouths, because we are desensitized to the previous copious amount of sugar treats.


I call them diabetes cakes.

This is true but the point of this thread I think was to point out the obvious. If it is filled with anything it is not a King Cake. That is fine if that what some ppl like but you can’t call it a king cake.


When we stuff boudin balls with cheese, we still call them boudin balls. Are you suggesting we should say “stuffed king cake” or does the compulsion to stick with one, singular method of traditional preparation mean we can’t call pepperjack cheese stuffed boudin balls by that name either?

Why do cheeseburgers exist?

Good point. And why call them burgers if people put cheese on them?

Why is stuffed crust pizza still called pizza?

Donuts filled with jam? Not really donuts?

Are buffalo wings still called that if we dip them in bleu cheese dip? Now if you dip them in ranch, go frick your mother. But you can still call them buffalo wings.

Not at all. If they were, king cakes never would have become so popular in the first place. I like both, but sometimes it's overload woth some of the filled ones.
