The tradition of the king cake is believed to have been brought to Louisiana by the French in the 1800’s. The oval shaped cake is decorated in the colors of carnival, usually with purple, green and gold sugar crystals.

Arguably the best part of Mardi Gras, this delicious dessert has been reimagined by some of the best bakeries and restaurants in the industry. Each location boasts it’s own recipe or twist on the Carnival favorite.


While this list is in no way all conclusive, we hope to provide you with a few of our office favorites and welcome you to submit your own favorites! Or better yet, bring us one to sample!
