Mardi Gras King Cake RECAP 2014

 

So I had the pleasure of TASTING a lot of different King Cakes this Mardi Gras season!

I wanted to send a shout out to ALL the Bakeries that participated - Tasting king cake is a tough job, but someone had to do it! LOL!

Many of you got FREE King cakes in the giveaways as well!  What I liked most is that I was able to let my readers know about many king cake bakeries that were "under the radar" which means they still taste amazing but are not overpriced!

See all the links below - the giveaways are over, but the information was and will be incredibly useful in the future - a few of them have king cakes year round so keep them in mind for your FUTURE KING CAKE NEEDS! (yes, it is a need, not just a want!)


Angelo's Bakery and Catering (Metairie)  
This giveaway ends on Friday Feb 28th so you can still enter!

Winn Dixie (various locations)

Copeland's of New Orleans (various locations)

The PeaceBaker (Metairie)

GIVEAWAY and Review: Angelo's Bakery King Cake

 

Funny thing about Angelo's Bakery - I put the address in my GPS (5928 W. Metairie Avenue) and realized I had past in a thousand times - near the corner of Elise and W. Metairie in the corner of the shopping center.  I had always meant to stop in the Bakery and now was my chance!

Angelo's Bakery offered up two king cakes for me to try - one traditional and one strawberry cream cheese.  I picked these king cakes up on the right day as we were having a Mardi Gras Party that night at my mom's (she is on the Northshore parade route)...So her guests were so happy to review these king cakes with me (I know - it's a tough job!)

TRADITIONAL - light and fluffy with just enough icing and sprinkle.  We appreciated coming back from the parade and having this treat!

FILLED - The cream cheese was a great blend and it was throughout the middle of the cake ensuring everyone got some in their piece.  The strawberry filling was light and spread out - not to much, just enough.

If Strawberry Cream cheese isn't your thing, check out all the other filled flavors:


Apple - Bavarian Cream - Chocolate - Blueberry - Cherry - Cream Cheese - Lemon - Pecan - Pineapple - Praline - Raspberry - Strawberry

 You can also have them shipped - see pricing here!

Ironically, my friend Dena got the baby from BOTH king cakes - so Dena, you better go get the next one from Angelo's!

Angelo's Bakery and Catering also has year round catering - check out their muffaletta ring, beautiful birthday and special occasion cakes, and more!

You can plan out your menus days, weeks, or even MONTHS in advance - and Cook'n will generate a shopping list for you based on your menu plan. It even organizes your shopping list items by aisle and estimates how much your list is going to cost!

You can even compare different brands to choose the best option for you and your family.

The Cook'n program also comes with free companion apps for your Android, iPhone, iPad, or Kindle. Rather than have to print out a recipe (or drag your laptop into the kitchen!), you can just view that night's recipe on your smartphone or tablet sitting on the kitchen counter.

    Review and Giveaway: Winn Dixie King Cake


    So in my quest to try out King Cakes this Mardi Gras season, I was given the opportunity to try a King Cake from Winn Dixie!  And I am doing a GIVEAWAY for one too (see giveaway below)

    I happened to be at Winn Dixie on a day when a random Mardi Gras parade was strolling in the store! Only in New Orleans can you "make groceries" with a live marching band and kids pushing decorated grocery cart floats throwing beads in the store!


    After the parade, I headed to the king cakes to pick one to try out.  When browsing for the perfect king cake, the first thing I had to decide was which flavor to choose.  There were soooo many options to choose from:

    Cinnamon (regular) - Cream Cheese - Strawberry - Lemon - Apple - Praline Pecan - Raspberry - Pineapple - Chocolate - Bavarian - Cherry

    AND THEN they take those flavors and combine some of them! Although I am sure the combined flavors available vary by store - they seem to always have cream cheese combined with something amazing!

    If you know me, I will talk to anyone! So I struck up a conversation with another lady looking at the king cakes too.  I asked her how many different flavors she thought they had...She started looking at the packages with me and said "There is cream cheese, apple, cinnamon...Look at this! They took lemon and cream cheese - and made lemon cream cheese!" And off she went with a lemon cream cheese king cake in her hand.  It's the little things in life that matter people! Lemon and cream cheese combined was all it took!

    So after a long and hard thought process, I chose a regular cinnamon flavored king cake AND a cream cheese king cake!

    Let's talk about the Cinnamon flavored king cake

    It has a great taste - not over or under cinnamon-y and the sprinkles and icing were just enough.  When I cut a slice, the inside had an "air hole" which I wish had just a bit more king cake dough in it.  Easily fixed by smooshing a bit - and trust me, smooshing does not affect the taste!

    I have to say for a grocery store king cake, this one was really good and my kids LOVED IT!

    The price for a regular size king cake was $7.99 - great price!

    Let's talk about the Cream Cheese flavored king cake
    I was so surprised by how unbelievably amazing the cream cheese and ooey-gooey icing seemed to melt perfectly together! They didn't skimp on the cream cheese either - it was all over the king cake and lots of it! I really couldn't get enough and thoroughly enjoyed eating a slice (or two) for breakfast as well (don't judge me!)

    The price for a large king cake was $11.99 which I think was extremely reasonable for the size of the king cake - and it was "stuffed" so that made the price look even better to me!


    Some other Mardi Gras items I found in the store:
    Really cute Mardi Gras Masks (some with feathers) - only 74 cents!
    And plastic Mardi Gras Hurricane cups - only 99 cents!
