Cake Palace in BR makes some killer cakes and ships them.

So its the glaze that makes the donut?its still a donut. if I put sprinkles and icing on a pile of poop its still a pile of poop!
I believe it is a take from it. The old McKenzie's cake were made from brioche and denser than the galette de rois. Additionally it had colored sugar sprinkled around the cake with cherries on each end. The cake was not nearly as sweet as today's king cakes and focused primarily on the dough used to make it.
This picture is of a McKenzie's cake. Unfortunately this cake is ruined because they left it in the bag too long and the yeast and sugar have started to interact and sweat, ruining the cake.
I always hated the cherry pieces, but they had the baby about 75% of the time.
you are correct, sir! I really miss the McKenzie's cakes. I got one from Tastee's last year and it was an abomination! I almost went Ignatius J Rielly on them.
the true definition of a king cake is the dough used to make it. Now a days you will be hard pressed to find a king cake. McKenzie's (now Tastees) makes a traditional cake but its not nearly as good as it used to be. A real king cake is a french concoction made of Brioche. Today's cakes are nothing like the real deal and to be honest, while they are tasty, not nearly as good.
If you EVER find an old fashioned cake, brioche, sprinkles with no white icing, PLEASE let me know. I still like those better than what we can get today. We just had our first Gambinos cake at the office; tasty, but not the same. I've been in deep king cake depression for over a decade.
Not sure about the delivery cost, but this is by far the best king cake.

Edit: Rouses makes a good king cake, but for that price you might as well get one from the Pecan House or the Swiss Confectionery on St. Charles. Both worth the price.
They have two kinds, do you recommend one over the other?
OK, question. Let's say I want to try my hand at baking a King Cake. My friends get together every Wednesday night for dinner. So should I do it the Wednesday before Mardi Gras? I mean, the Wednesday after is Ash Wednesday. I suppose King Cake might be not OK on Ash Wednesday?
