Where to find the best king cakes in L.A. MardiGras2020
Of course, no one does king cake quite like New Orleans. It’s decorated in the colors of Mardi Gras — purple , green and gold — as chosen by one of the city’s first Mardi Gras organizations, or krewes. A token or trinket — usually a plastic baby symbolizing the infant Jesus — is hidden inside. Whoever finds the baby may be crowned king or queen of the party; more important, that person is responsible for bringing the cake to the next gathering.
I try to get back to New Orleans whenever I can to celebrate Mardi Gras. When I can’t , I’ll celebrate at home with friends. Over the years, I’ve found it’s next to impossible to find a local bakery that makes New Orleans-style king cakes, let alone knows what one is. And authentic as a mail-order cake may be, I’ve never had one that matched freshly baked.
