The Best King Cakes in New Orleans for Mardi Gras | Eater New Orleans

"Martha Gilreath founded her Nolita king cakes pop-up a few Mardi Gras ago with delivery king cakes and opened her first bakery in Bayou St. John just in time for the start of the 2024 season. After one full king cake season at her standalone shop in the books, Gilreath’s king cakes are solidified as one of the most popular in town. The cakes are dreamy; simple and delicious, based on the old-school style of McKenzie’s. There is just the one style, topped with a perfectly runny glaze and thick sugar crystals in deep, vibrant colors. Online preorders are now open, and walk-ins are welcome — just get there early." - Beth D’Addono
