King Caker - Lafayette

The only thing I’ve had from this place is the King Cake, and it was definitely worth the 4-hour drive we made to pick up several for ourselves and friends. We've tried other royal cakes, but these are far superior. They offer a variety of flavors, but our favorites are the cinnamon butter and butter pecan. The cake has more of a pastry texture, which we really enjoy, and the glaze on top is just right. Unfortunately, they didn’t offer shipping this year, so we decided to make the long trip. Each cake comes with Mardi Gras beads and a baby figurine. My only complaint is that there was some confusion with our order because it wasn’t recorded properly, and now they use plastic bags instead of boxes. The icing tends to smear on the plastic, making it harder to carry multiple cakes. This place gets incredibly busy, especially as Mardi Gras approaches, so it's best to order early. Overall, the cake is fantastic!

I absolutely love the brownies here; they’re the best I’ve ever had! The staff is really friendly, and I find the prices to be quite reasonable.

We tasted the King Cake, petit fours, and several other delightful pastries, all of which were excellent. The staff was incredibly friendly. It's a fantastic spot to visit when you're in downtown.

There are several large royal cakes in the city, and many so-so-king cakes. Cellar is in handful of places at the top. Your cake is moist and tasteful, not like dry bread with icing on top. We just got an Amaretto Walnut and I ate four pieces before I could convince myself to stop. The pastries and cookies are also good (high soles are excellent), but the king cake is simply at the top of the list.

If you don’t get Keller’s iced brownies before you die, you haven’t lived! Best brownies I’ve ever tasted!!
