Description

Caluda's Traditional King Cake is a classic Mardi Gras dessert with a twist. This king cake is made with a soft, sweet dough and filled with a generous amount of cinnamon and sugar, creating a rich and indulgent flavor. The cake is then topped with a layer of icing and sprinkles, but in a unique twist, the icing is served on the side so that each person can customize the sweetness to their preference. The outside of the cake is golden and flaky, while the inside is soft and bursting with the flavors of cinnamon and sugar. This king cake is the perfect way to celebrate Mardi Gras or any special occasion.

King cakes are a traditional pastry that are popular in New Orleans during the Carnival season, which begins on Twelfth Night (the evening of January 5) and ends on Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday). The best part of a king cake is a matter of personal preference, but many people enjoy the following aspects of this delicious treat:

  1. The flavor: King cakes are made with sweet, buttery dough that is flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg.

  2. The decorations: King cakes are decorated with colorful icing and sprinkles in the traditional Mardi Gras colors of purple, green, and gold. Some bakeries also get creative with the decorations. (Icing and sugar will be on the side and you can spread it as needed on top of the bread)

  3. The tradition: A small plastic baby (representing the Baby Jesus) is hidden inside the king cake. According to tradition, the person who finds the baby in their slice of cake is responsible for purchasing or making the next king cake, or for hosting the next party. This adds an element of fun and surprise to the experience of eating a king cake.

  4. The community aspect: In New Orleans, it is common for people to gather and eat king cakes together, often in the context of a party or celebration. Sharing a king cake with friends and family can be a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Overall, the best part of a king cake from New Orleans is the combination of its delicious flavor, festive decorations, rich tradition, and communal aspect.

    Fresh and fun! A nice, affordable way to bring a little New Orleans into your life

    Fresh and fun! A nice, affordable way to bring a little New Orleans into your life. Next time, I *may* try a more expensive, fancier brand but it’s going to cost quite a bit more so this one is a good way to go. Mind you, I’ve never had King Cake so feel free to ignore everything I just said, lmao! I love that it’s customizable with the frosting and decorations on the side. This way more people can enjoy the cake. Also, it was a generous size.

    I really miss New Orleans since we've had to relocate

    Posted by G. Armstrong on Jan 1st 2024

    I really miss New Orleans since we've had to relocate. But with Creole Foods, we can have those wonderful, traditional flavors anywhere we are. People who have never lived in New Orleans don't understand the difference between creole and cajun; that blackened doesn't mean an inch of pepper coating on food, but a nuanced seasoning that lets the taste of the food through (not covered over); and that King Cake is the best cake you'll ever eat. Quit trying to find creole food at your local markets or restaurants, just go to CreoleFoods.Com.....they'll go the extra mile to give you helpful, courteous service. They have a large variety of choices, too. Let the good times roll!

    I've never tasted King Cake and a friend of mine who was born in NOLA sent me one. It was the best cake I've ever had. The cake was delicious and and icing on top added a nice texture. I'm saving my money to purchase another soon.
