best king cake out there?

Question

i live in new orleans, but have only been here for a year. i want to bring some of my California friends king cakes because i will be spending mardi gras with them instead of in new orleans.

i've heard gambino's and randazzo's are ranked pretty high, and i agree they're great, but what else is out there? i really want them to try the ideal king cake, whatever that may be.

thanks!

Answer 1

Manny Randazzo

Gambino's

Randazzo's Camilla City Bakery

Haydel's Bakery

Answer 2

If you have to do Randazzo's go to Manny. Jo-el (Camellia) has gotten so full of herself and has ignored the quality of her product for some time. I have gotten half raw king cakes from her bakery. Stick with Gambino's or Haydel's, they put out a nice product. Maurice's French Pastries is supposed to have really nice king cakes as well as the authentic French king cakes.

Answer 3

No! But King Cake is allowed to eat Christians!

Answer 4

Manny Randazzos!!!!!

Answer 5

McKenzie's hands down! Tastee Donuts bought all the recipes, so go load up on turtles and meringue kisses too!



re-new orleans

Answer 6

McKenzie's are also pretty good. The only thing is they went out of business so your going to have to go to some other place that sells them. I think some Tastee's doughnut shops sells them!



Have FUN!!
