King Cake Madness

It’s king cake season, and on this week’s Louisiana Eats, we look at how this Carnival indulgence has become the phenomenon it is today. We begin in at longtime family-run king cake purveyor, Randazzo’s Camellia City Bakery in Slidell.

Then, we learn how King Cake Hub owner Will Samuels has found business success through Carnival-style promotion. King Cake Hub offers king cakes from bakeries across New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana in a one-stop shop

Finally, we meet a man who has magically put king cake in a bottle. Max Messier of Cocktail & Sons stops by our studio to tell us about his seasonal king cake syrup. He also mixes us up a drink, and we toast another Mardi Gras.
