Who makes the BEST King Cake?? (1 Viewer)

[buzd]

On another note, Buzd, have you tired that Domenica one yet? I'm dying to know if it is good.

Sorry, i saw this and meant to answer it yesterday. Yeah, we had one Monday.

It's as amazing as it looks. Baked perfectly with just the right amount of cinnamon. The fresh bananas are SO much better than the filling usually found in king cakes. And while the praline icing is delicious, it's a bit overly sweet, and the marscapone cheese offsets that perfectly. A few pecans make it perfect, and the gold leaf, while not adding anything to the flavor, completes the exercise in excess. It is absolutely as good as it looks, and at $35, it's really a steal. The site says it serves 12-14, and we probably served 15 people with about a quarter of the cake still left.

You need to get one of these cakes.

Welcome to MECHE'S DONUT KING - BROUSSARD - Voted the Times of Acadiana's BEST KING CAKE.

Do those travel well? I had a Randazzo's shipped in 2009 and it was still moist. I have doubts about a doughnut type lasting long.

Mannnnnn,
It's a shame they don't deliver outside of NOLA. Us poor folks up in Maryland won't get to try that glorious pastry....

I ordered one from Nonna's for a friend in Kentucky to share with her office and she said it was outstanding.

Gold is biologically inert and will pass through the digestive tract

Yes, it traveled well to me. It'll definitely go stale faster than a Haydel's.

Thanks to whoever suggested them, it's definitely different and good. I'm not sure it was quite worth over 50 to get it to me, but what the heck, it was good.

For those of you that are local, Nonna's king cakes are available on the south shore at Canseco's on Esplanade (old whole foods).

Glad this thread popped up.

My aunt makes a good cararmel cake but it takes her almost a whole day to make the stupid thing. I've tried buying some locally but haven't found one worth the money yet.

Does anyone know where I can buy a great caramel cake??

Also, does anyone make a caramel king cake? Just the thought of it makes me mad I'm not eating one.

Dad said that's the best king cake he's ever had. Then, he told me he was going to ask Alon to marry him.

I noticed today that Capdeville has a salted caramel cheesecake and Debbie Does Doberge makes a salted caramel cake as well.
