"Having built a following with her king cake pop-up over the past three Mardi Gras seasons, Martha Gilreath is opening her first solo bakery, Nolita, in December at 3201 Orleans Avenue in the Bayou St. John space formerly home to Mayhew Bakery. I’m looking forward to her simple but delicious king cakes topped with a runny glaze and thick sugar crystals, and she’s also bringing her family’s crawfish bread recipe, boudin Danishes, baguettes, and more to the neighborhood." - Clair Lorell
