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

"One of the city’s favorites for king cake is Bywater Bakery, where chef/owner Chaya Conrad hits it out of the park with her Chantilly-filled king cake — light, toothsome, and shot through with either blueberries or strawberries. Preorder king cakes with fillings like praline, frangipane, vegan bourbon cinnamon, and, new in 2025, passionfruit pineapple. You can also stop by the bakery’s walk-up window to pick up; Conrad’s team keeps plenty of cakes in stock daily." - Beth D’Addono
