Hello friends!

We’ve had a handful of messages this week asking about the spring cookies, so an update:

We spent most of March prepping hundreds of cookies, lost power, lost our chest freezer from basement flooding, and had to throw away a freezer full of prepped dough. 🫠

On top of that, ingredient costs have gone up significantly over the last month which means our pricing needs adjusting, and we’re a bit burnt out from that series of unfortunate events.

We’ll be continuing our hiatus until further notice, orders will be closed.

Apologies! And thank you for your support, we’ll be back eventually. 🫶💕

Hello friends! A reminder that we will not be taking any orders for the month of march.

We'll be taking this time off to restock our classic flavors and test out our six new spring flavors coming in April:

• Matcha Lavender
• Strawberry Cheesecake
• Lemon White Chocolate
• Ube Coconut
• Carrot Cake
• Almond Croissant

We've also been working on other other recipes, cupcakes and cinnamon rolls and the like.

Which are you most looking forward to? 🥸

Hello friends!

Just wanted to drop in and remind everyone that King Cakes will be leaving on February 17th, the day before Ash Wednesday!

After that, we’ll be taking a break from baking through the end of March.

Thank you all so much for your support thus far, stay safe and stay warm everyone. 🫶💕

Happy new year friends! ✨

This month we say goodbye to all of our seasonal cookie flavors, and hello to our limited King Cake menu!

Patrick and I lived in the New Orleans area for nearly a decade. We miss many things from the region, not least of all the food and the Carnival celebrations that start every year on Epiphany.

King cakes trace their oldest roots back to Saturnalia celebrations in Ancient Rome, later being adopted as an important part of Christian epiphany celebrations in Europe to symbolize the arrival of the Three Wise Men in Bethlehem.

They evolved differently from region to region, and eventually French settlers brought them to Louisiana where they became the giant brioche pastry stuffed with a variety of fillings, a hidden plastic baby baked into the cake, and dusted with colorful sanding sugars.

We spent a long while developing our own version: a very soft tangzhong enriched brioche, braided into either the traditional crown or a large loaf - depending on the filling, glazed with either a vanilla icing or cream cheese frosting.

We skipped the plastic baby & the sanding sugars, but we think you’ll enjoy these king cakes all the same!

You can message us here or at 985-788-0833 to start your order or ask us any questions. 🙏

The results of today’s experiments, a big ol’ slice of our Bavarian Cream King Cake. 🍰

Made with our pillowy soft braided brioche & filled with scratch made Bavarian cream.

A little underbaked in the middle, but that’s why we develop and repeatedly test recipes before adding them to the menu.

King Cakes will be available January 5th!

Some scratch made Bavarian cream for this weekends king cake test bake. 💃

Hello! 👋

We tend to take this time of year to slow down, instead of speeding up like what is typically expected of all of us. Hence the mini hiatus in posting updates.

That being said, you only have two more weeks to order our holiday flavors before they leave! They won’t be back until this time next year.

Also! Our Cinnamon Mocha flavor will be leaving the classic menu come new years, the cinnamon chips we use have become very inaccessible.

Orders will open again on Monday, stay warm and stay safe, friends! ☃️

I think this is the best thing I’ve ever baked. 🥲

I’ve spent many an hour developing my own take on a classic King Cake.

I present: PECAN PRALINE KING CAKE.

One of the five flavors we’ll be offering. Made with a braided brioche dough, enriched with tangzhong to keep it soft for days (if it even lasts that long).

We’ll be making a more in depth post about King Cake come new years, but imagine if a loaf of babka and a cinnamon roll had a love child and you’ve got the gist. 🤠
