King Cake

[Etexhorn13 3042]

Is there anywhere in this city worth getting a King Cake from? We usually have my in-laws bring us one from Lafayette but if there’s anywhere here that makes a good one that would be great news.

Meche’s delivers. It slams.

I’d be more into king cake if the real baby Jesus was one of the ingredients.

Are you referring to Meche’s in Lafayette? We have some friends that love Meche’s (I don’t mind it at all and will never turn down a king cake From there) but the best king cake in Lafayette is from Keller’s, and they charge a premium to ship.

I really hope you’re talking about a Meche’s in Houston

That’s what I figured. And don’t get me wrong, I love Meche’s,  but it’s essentially a giant donut cake. If you’ve never had Keller’s in Lafayette I’d suggest you change that (they ship too, it’s just expensive AF) It would be nice to throw a Mardi Gras party with some local king cake to save some money but also not be Kroger or heb variety shit.

My wife and I are basically high school sweethearts; I’ve had every king cake in that town over the last 15 or so years… Keller’s stands out as the best of the best even over some of the New Orleans king cakes a friend of mine sends every year.

My ULL guys say the Kroger Signature on Buffalo Speedway and Westpark sell a king cake from New Orleans. I don’t remember the name of the bakery. But it’s one of the good ones. 

Yes Meche’s is a giant donut. Not cheap, and not for everybody , but I loved it.
