Today I was looking at our Twitter feed, and my boy Jim Hummel from KATC tweeted out "Alright, #NewOrleans twitter- what's the deal with these Dong Phuong King Cakes?" I was all like "What is a Dong Phuong King Cake?" I investigated it and now see it might be the ones of the best King Cakes I've never tried.
With Mardi Gras comes King Cakes. With King Cakes comes arguments. Who is making the best King Cakes in Acadiana? We asked you that very question, and here are the top 3 as voted on by you!
You ever wonder why you never see people eating king cake at festivals, or especially Mardi Gras parades? Cause it's so messy! Well, thanks to one Slidell based baker, messy fingers and king cake don't have to go hand in hand any longer.
There are all kinds of king cakes these days. You've got the traditional, you've got king cakes with different types of filling, and even boudin king cakes. However, The Audubon Zoo in New Orleans is offering up a type of king cake I've never heard of until today. They are offering up a "Cricket King Cake". Nope, not for the animals at the zoo, for the patrons.
The video is considered NSFW, cause how could you eat King Cake for the first time, and NOT let out some expletives!
These people from other parts of the country tried King Cake for the first time, and it's pretty awesome!
It's time to get ready for Mardi Gras, and the Krewe de Bayou's Voodoo Masquerade Mardi Gras Ball this Friday...
It's official the time for King Cakes is here but the window in which to get them is short this year. Expect your favorite bakery to be very busy between now and Mardi Gras as we all rush to pick up our favorite flavors.
