One of the best things that happens to Louisiana every year is the king cakes. Every carnival season bakeries in Louisiana come alive making some of the most creative king cakes. If you have never enjoyed the Bayou States' favorite pastry know that the king cake is a masterpiece of flavor.

What Exactly is a King Cake?

The cake has a slightly sweet dough, buttery and rich with a hint of cinnamon although the dough is good by itself, it's the filling that lets bakers all over Louisiana shine. You have probably tried all the classic choices, like creamy cinnamon sugar or rich cream cheese. However, if you have an adventurous palate, you have to try some delicious flavors like praline pecan, blueberry, cookies, and cream. We love seeing local bakeries show off and introduce unique flavors.
