My wife loves the ones from Ambrosia Bakery in Baton Rouge, but I'm sure the guys from New Orleans would have other suggestions.

My last job before moving to Portland was actually working in IT for a grocery coop whose largest member was Rouses. But somehow I don’t think I’ve ever had one of their king cakes. I’ll give it a shot. Probably gonna order a few this year from different places.

That is actually the place that I used to work at where I normally get them from. The owners are douchebags but the king cakes are pretty good. They tend to overfill a little on the fruit for my taste though.

I recently had one from Rouse's and it was a bit dry, but that might've also been because it was made in Gulf Shores? :shrug:

Sometimes you have to show your kids the harsher side of the world.

One day if you haven't already, you'll have to tell your kids that three things aren't real: Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the Falcons' chances of winning a Super Bowl.

Not anymore. They just announced no more shipments this year because of demand. My mother in law picked one up for us before visiting this weekend and that poo poo is so good, but there was a two hour wait to get them.

My friend owns Mr. Bubbles on Canal and they sell Dong Phuong cakes and they have to put in their orders days in advance now because demand is so high.


All these people are right. Theirs is the best, and it's a crazy dark horse in a city with like 6 traditional mainstays.

Oh good, the Eagles didn’t bother to show up. Maybe next week the Falcons will actually face a playoff team that gives a poo poo?

The only correct answer is Rouse’s and they ship nationally for a very reasonable price.

Are you saying Rouse's is the best king cake?

Rouse's is a solid king cake especially for the price, but it's pure madness to call it the best.

It's the replacement level. If you bring anything worse than a Rouse's cake, you're bad person. It's a very good cake and it's pretty cheap so there's no reason to bring anything cheaper or spend more on worse cakes.

Rouse’s is the best you can get delivered next day outside of Louisiana, IMO.

Because they don't have a lead and unlike the Rams, the Eagles are one of the best run defenses in the league.
