Maurice French Pastries

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

"So many king cakes to love at Maurice French Pastries. Beyond the traditional, chef Jean-Luc’s specialty cakes are swoon-worthy, with flavors that have included the Pontchatoula, filled with Bavarian cream, fresh strawberries, Chantilly cream, and toasted almonds; and the Bourbon Street, oozing bourbon and toasted pecan flavored chocolate cream. Best of all, the bakery sells sizes from small to extra large, helping with the common conundrum of appropriately sized king cakes for one or two people." - Beth D’Addono
