Anyone want King Cake?

[jolie]

I was just online searching for Randazzo's Kingcake shipping for some out of town family.
After seeing the prices... I figured I could just do it myself for a lot less!
Small cake, Standard Mailing Container from USPS, Priority 2-3 day Shipping = $25.00.. maybe I'll throw in a few pair of beads like the fancy online stores.

Anyway.. I'm gonna go to the bakery on Monday or Tuesday.. I can pick up extras. Shoot me an e-mail if you're interested. We can work it out thru paypal? cantrellclack@bellsouth.net

[Delta]

We have to finish off the one we already have first!

I have a whole bag of crowns and babies if you want to get really fancy.

[jolie]

Nah.. really just trying to keep it simple and get them the cake.
Hmmm.. maybe next year I'll go in business:)

[funkkjunkie]

I've had cream cheese and plain and i they are both delish. I think there's a chocolate one too.

[ibjamn]

I forgot the name of the place, but I think it's in LaPlace, has a "Zulu" king cake that is chocolate w/pecans & is just amazing. Aside from that Randazzo's is the hands-down best and they have a caramel w/pecans that is verrrrrry good too.

I'm having a slice of a Randazzo's king cake right now!

I saw King Cakes at Kroger last week. There must be more displaced New Orleaneans in my part of town than I thought.

[Delta]

We've always had King cakes at our Kroger. If they sell well and the women in the bakery are in a good mood, they do fruit fillings, struesel toppings, cream cheese, caramel, whatever they have available I guess since it's extremely random what they'll have other than the regular. The worst part is that they now pack the baby, crown and beads in a separate little bag that comes with the cake.

Someone brought a king cake to work today. I had a little slice and it was sure nothing like the cakes i've had in nola. mama's pic of one is perfection. Oh, and the baby was still taped to the lid. No one remembered or knew to put it in side.

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

King Cakes started showing up at our Krogers also.

[BigDag]

For those of us on the diet thread,

No king cake.

Sob.

Hmmmm, Krogers bought Ralphs out here. I wonder .........

[Delta]

My youngest just texted and said she'll be bringing one home when she gets off work.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[festivalgirl]

I've ordered from Haydels the past couple of years - $35 plain/$40 filled (coffee, beads, coins & figurine incl.) door to door.

[Orleansnj]

we order from Manny Randazzo in Metairie since the other one hasn't been shipping. Dang good creamed cheese ones......... arrive 2nd day fedex. And the baby is IN the cake like it's supposed to be - not in some plastic bag on the side !

[Phatpapa]

For those of us on the diet thread,

No king cake.

Holy cow!!!! Is $25 of that shipping charges?

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

we are in the wrong business

[sophisticated sissy]

Thanks, but I can buy them here locally at Dorothy Lane Markets. Last year, i took a couple of them to my daughter's dorm and she and the kids on her floor went nuts over them!

[festivalgirl]

Holy cow!!!! Is $25 of that shipping charges?

prolly but they ain't easy to find here in l.a. i'd probably spend $25 in gas trying to find one.

a few of us chip in. it's worth it.

[Frosty]

No king cakes here yet. But then again, last year was the first time I ever saw them up here. I was hoping to get one for a neighborhood dinner party tonight.

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on this...does it make you warmer to eat a slice of King Cake?

[Phatpapa]

Most definately, Mich. Cant you just see the lard oozing out of the thing. Fat does insulate you know?

[Delta]

Yeah, we should be in the shipping business.
The medium size at the Kroger last night was $5.99.

[jolie]

Nothing warms the insides more than a warmed piece of king cake with a cup of coffee.

Let me clarify.. I'm just offering to do the shipping. These are Randazzo's King Cakes.. the best in the land IMHO. I'm gonna pick them up and go straight to the post office. A small one sells for $12.99 + tax and I can priority ship any where in the US for $10.00.

[Phatpapa]

Just got my circle of LOVE (with beads and masks too, I may add)and it is now thawing out waiting to be devoured by my 16 y/o beast and his friends.
And me if I get lucky:confused:

Thanks again, Jolie and I can't wait to buy you a COLD, COLD, beverage of your choice cuz I definately owe you

[Carolina Beadhead]

I had a couple of pieces of the one at NinceFest last weekend. It was all I could do to leave some for the others...

[ibjamn]

I haven't had one yet this year. (Even though I "won" one at Rouses last weekend.) I'm trying to not succumb.....

We just finished off a Rouse one tonight!;)

[ibjamn]

We just finished off a Rouse one tonight!;)

We were in Rouses a couple of Saturdays ago & they had numbers taped to the floor in the aisles. They announced that whoever was standing on a number when the employee came around would win a king cake. David said, "I'm going to stand on #24". Me, I was looking for smoky paprika and didn't even know I was on a number and won the cake. :)

Long time no post... Hi everyone!

Though I am currentlyin NO (more treatments), King Soopers (Krogers owned)
in Denver Metro area carries their brand fresh baked King Cakes.
Unfortunately they are just the plain cinnamon with the white
sugar icing and purple, yellow and green sprinkles.
A prepackaged little baggy has a baby and 1 pair
of beads in it. Not too bad but they taste so much better in NO. Love the cream cheese one. Anyone recommend the best in Metarie/Kenner area?
Rouses is way too sweet and too much filling. Is Jim Gambinos (Veterans Blvd near Don's Seafood Hut) any good? Best place for Doberge? Saw the recommendations posted somewhere before but can't find now.

Thank you ! ! ! Happy Mardi Gras Season.!
See anyone at Riverfront LundiGras? Email me.

I prefer the doberge from Maurice on Hessmer in Metairie. Good king cakes in Metairie/Kenner from Frances' bakery, Manny Randazzo (also sold at Danny & Clyde's), Haydel's on Jefferson Hwy and Chez Pierre, the best Vietnamese-owned French bakery in LA. The original McKenzie's king cakes are available at Tastee Donut stores. I bought one from Whole Foods today because our son is allergic to artificial coloring. Gonna go cut me a piece right now...:)

[pokerchick66]

I wish yall would stop talking about king cake!

[ibjamn]

Chez Pierre, the best Vietnamese-owned French bakery in LA.


no no no, Hi Do bakery in Gretna. Chocolate filled (or ham & cheese filled) croissants, sold out by 9am.

[windowman]

That's one I have not heard of, Jenn. Their name could be a good setup for humor. Half-kidding about Chez Pierre, but they are out in my neck of the woods and their stuff is really good. Remember the Chantilly cream fruit filled cake I brought over for dessert? It was from there.
