"Manny Randazzo’s king cakes generate a cult following each year, with the Carnival season-only bakery (in operation since 1965) legend for its sweet, braided brioche topped with icing and colored sugar. There’s no preorder for pickup — they’re dolled out on a first-come, first-served basis, but you can have this definitive king cake shipped anywhere, with beads and doubloons as part of the package." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
