Caluda's King Cake

Perfect King Cakes every time. We have been giving Caluda’s King Cakes as gifts for years. Our family and friends can’t wait to receive them. Caluda’s makes us look great to the ones we send the King Cakes. 🤗

One of my friends sent me this king cake with praline filling via FedEx, and it is amazingly delicious! I live in Arizona now and they don't have/sell king cakes here unless I make it myself but even the one that I make doesn't taste this good. This king cake is definitely the BEST king cake that I have ever had, and I was born and raised in Louisiana so that's saying a lot! Order a king cake from here and you will not regret it! Everything was packaged separately which I didn't mind at all. Everything tasted fresh, even the pastry tasted fresh. There were no detectable signs of tasting stale at all!

I've made many orders over the years. Great king cakes and great service. Lesley has always been a lot of help...SHE'S A KEEPER!!! All my orders are on line or telephone. I live in Florida.

Have ordered king cakes to be fed exed to Utah for the past three years from Caludas. They are exceptional, traditional, and fresh on arrival. I always order two, so I can share one at work so everyone can have a taste of real king cake. People always tell me how blown away they are by the flavor and moistness of the cake. The cake is usually gone in thirty minutes once I announce it's arrival. Thank you, Caludas for letting me keep traditions alive far from home. PS. I have tried to correct my posting to give 5/5 stars for service and food, however, Google will not let me. Trust me when I tell you, Caluda's is amazing! I've never been let down.

I don’t know where to start, the good or the bad. I’m a fan of Caluda’s King Cakes, particularly the cream cheese and the praline/cream cheese. I bought a praline/cream cheese king cake today and it was amazing, just as expected. It was very fresh and moist. I also bought the flavor of the week, chocolate chip cookie dough. It was a huge disappointment, just a big conglomerate of bread with hardly any cookie dough to be found. When I was finally able to find some cookie dough, it tasted like chocolate only. I didn’t get any hint of cookie dough. It also was a bit dry. After today, I think I’ll pass on trying any more flavors of week and stick to what I know is good.

Amazing! We got it right on time, and it is super moist. You get the cake, frosting and other toppings, along with a cup, beads and doubloon. And the baby, of course. Keeping the city and her people in my thoughts and prayers.

Today, I tried Caluda's Stawberry Cream King Cake. It was Very Fresh and Moist. Lots of strawberry and cream cheese filling. A generous layer of icing on top. Very taste full👌🏾. Overall, I'd give it an "7.9" Although I like the taste of the filling and icing, it has too much in my opinion.And I'm not a fan of the sprinkles🤷🏾‍♂️. If you're into filled king cakes, I believe you'll like it. Have you ever tried this place? If so, what's your opinion? And where are some good king cakes that you recommend?

Caluda's King Cake is king! I love that their dough holds up to the icing, so you don't end up with those soggy pieces, and they use granulated sugar on their traditional, not wax sprinkles like some competitors. They do some wild flavors each week leading up to Mardi Gras, and offer a daily selection of traditional and filled cakes. No matter what you pick, you won't be disappointed!

Who ever gave this place 4 stars or less is INSANE! Stopped by and picked up a single serving of Oreo cream cheese king cake and a whole Bavarian king cake. Guys were super friendly. There was no wait! They are ready for MARDI GRAS! Cute place. Come get some!

The king cakes were so good! I loved the wedding cake.. so delicious. I liked the red velvet! The nectar snoball was so good, my fave out of the three! I love their traditional one & Oreo cream cheese too!

I would rate their king cakes the best in the area! Everybody has their own taste preference but I like king cake with icing and they have perfected it!

The Wedding Cake King Cake is to die for. It is so moist and delicious. John needs to put it on the regular menu of his King Cale Flavors. It is a home run!!!!

Delicious king cake. Very fresh and lots of icing. It was a last minute purchase but I would buy again.

This is one of the best king cakes I've ever had, and I've had a lot. I always judge king cakes by their plain one because I know if that one rocks the filled ones will undoubtedly be amazing. Caluda's plain king cake is damn near perfect. They have the perfect amount of icing in my opinion and the cinnamon runs throughout the cake so each bite is as good as the last. None of that dry, hollowed out in spots , inconsistent cinnamon thread is happening here. And listen I'm a HUGE fan of Rouses in general, but when I hear people say they have the best king cakes I'm always just wondering WTF because umm sorry but no they do not. But I digress. Anyways, here in Lafayette (home of the bs donut king cakes...which is just sacrilegious and an insult to traditional king cakes) you can get a fresh Caluda's king cake at Costco at carnival time. They ship tons of them everyday but they do go fast, so when you see one, grab it. You'll never ever say Rouses has the best king cake again. That's a promise.

Wait, I'm shook that I've never written a review! This is my second favorite king cake and it's amazing that you can be in and out without having to wait in line for hours upon hours. I'm a traditional girly so don't ask me about all those fillings but if you want a good, moist piece of king cake this is the place for you!

This cake came in the mail.!! I got my King Cake on the exact date they told me. It came very fresh, Not stingy on the icing or colored decoration sprinkles. The cake was absolutely delicious and fresh, Full of cream cheese. We be getting our King Cakes here from now on. Excellent ..!!

Ordered cake online... almost 30 dollars for shipping. Cake comes in damaged. I reach out via phone and email multiple times, no answer. Then I see on their website you have to file a claim through Fedex. I do that. 14 days pass and Fedex declines and say they have a special agreement with Caluda and they have to take care of the refund or replacement. I emailed Caluda and called them again no response! I gave up and said "f" it. Thennn a few weeks later my card gets charged for another cake and shipping out of no where with a delivery date of the old order!!? Their phones are down for the "season" and I sent another email on their website and reached out to their support. Guess what? No answer.... Horrible, Horrible service. Never order through them! I'm out 120$ now! Please answer your emails or your phone.

Tried the guava king cake today! So fresh and delicious and not overly sweet! You can taste the guava! It was worth driving to Elmwood for! And they were super busy! Good for them. I love Caluda's and their daily/weekly specials.

I purchased a Caluda's Cream Cheese King Cake from Canseco's in Gentilly! The cake itself is soft and delicious. I searched specifically for this king cake (I wanted apple or lemon with the cream cheese also). My only complaint is the small amount of cream cheese in it, it needed more! However, it was still extremely delicious and worth every penny. There is nothing I hate more than a dry King Cake, and Caluda's is very far from that. I plan on trying some other flavors before Carnival is over.

Mardi Gras is a state of mind. And Caluda's can help you keep that state of mind all year long with their outstanding King Cake. I first found out about King Cake at a Baton Rouge Yelp event on Zoom . It was supposed to be a bake-along event but I didn't bake; I watched and took notes from the chat, including a most important note about ordering King Cakes online from Caluda's. Which is exactly what I did. My King Cake was supposed to arrive a week before it did but in these crazy times in which we live, not only did we endure a pandemic but a massive ice storm in Texas shut down shipping impacting the whole country. I called Caluda's to see what was up and heard an outgoing message saying, basically, chill. Your cake will get there when it gets there and it will be fresh. Which it did and it was. Caluda's King Cake is yeasty, moist and flavorful. The icing is the perfect sugary compliment to the dough. And of course it's sprinkled with sugars (purple for justice, green for faith, and gold for power.) It arrived on my doorstep with a Mardi Gras cup and three strings of Mardi Gras beads. Talk about putting me in the Mardi Gras spirit. Just what the doctor ordered as we come up on one year of pandemics, lockdowns and quarantines.

Just a quick endorsement for Caluda's, based on my limited experience. An officemate had a Mardi Gras King Cake shipped from Caluda's in early February 2022 to share with everyone in our office. The King Cake was large & heavy, as well as surprisingly fresh & moist. Caluda's King Cake box included some Mardi Gras beads & a plastic cup, a card with Mardi Gras cake history, and of course the little baby hiding inside the cake. This was such a delicious King Cake, and Caluda's ships it well!

We purchased two king cakes - Bavarian Cream and Praline Pecan. Both were excellent with a cinnamon dough, nice amounts of filling and a light icing on top. It was sweet but not over the top. Pretty too. My only complaint is that the baby is in the middle of the king cake circle and not in the cake itself. I like to have a chance on finding the baby but if I place it inside then I know where it is.

King cake season has just met Lent but during Mardi Gras I got 8 king cakes from Caluada's. I don't think that they get enough credit for the taste and texture of their king cakes! I ordered a huge one for the company that I work for! I ordered 2 for my work trip to Indiana. I ordered 2 for my cousin in North Carolina and I ordered 3 for my family in Tennessee! The king cakes are baked fresh daily and this company will ship king cakes with the ease of a few button clicks! It has the king cake, frosting/icing, green and gold and purple colored sugar, a cup with beads inside, and decorating instructions!

The best king cakes ! I can't wait till Mardi Gras time every year to come get king cakes they are so good very fresh not to sweet!! They the best!!!!

I grew up in Da Parish eating Randazzo's king cakes...Caluda's tastes more like the original Randazzo's than any of the current incarnations of the Randazzo's. THE BEST!!!

King cake review! I waited for this particular week because I wanted to try their Banana's Fosters filled king cake. It was very good. My husband enjoyed it even more than I did! The icing has more of a caramel flavor, which threw me off a bit and lack of sliced bananas. The "cake" itself was awesome. The filling was very good, but not the "banana's foster" flavor I was hoping for. Nevertheless, a place during Mardi Gras season that should not be missed!

Me and some coworkers(in Texas)wanted to get a king cake but not from the grocery store but from a good bakery and after looking and looking around we decided on a Caluda's King Cake cream cheese and praline filling so Today at work we are trying that king cake from Caluda's King Cake Bakery and let me tell you this king cake is nice and soft and delicious! Happy Mardi Gras y'all! (Excuse the icing I did it myself)

We ordered this cake online and we were not disappointed! The cake was shipped next day federal express and arrived right on schedule. The box was festive and made us feel like we were in our favorite city besides Chicago. We ordered the cream cheese king cake and it was excellent! The cake was moist and everyone enjoyed it. Everyone kept asking g where it was from. I would definitely recommend this bakery!

I'm late writing this, but it's only fair that I update my review to give Caluda's King Cake 5 stars. I purchased another cream cheese king cake and it was oh so moist and very delicious! It should be a crime to make something so good lol! The other places I've tried cannot compare. Thanks Caluda's for gaining my trust back!

If you are shipping a cake, think twice. While the king cake itself (if you are taking it home to eat) is ok, they charge more for shipping than they do for the cake. The shipping is "overnight " with FedEx. Good luck with that. More like 2-3 day shipping, but you still get to pay the overnight rate. I hope you like your king cake stale. I reached out to customer service and was told there was nothing they could do. They argue with the carrier every year about this. Then why are you using that carrier? And why are you charging me an arm and a leg for a service you know you aren't going to deliver?

I was lucky enough to get a holiday candy cane king cake. It was beyond fresh and delicious. Easily one of the best cakes I have ever had from any bakery in nola. Easy pick up process and friendly staff. 10/10. I will for sure be ordering more items.

The king cakes are very fresh, but the icing has a very odd lemony taste. The sprinkles also have a strong artificial dye flavor. I really wish they'd just use the sugar on top of all of the king cakes. I drove an hour to get a pecan praline king cake because the local grocery stores only carried the traditional and cream cheese Caluda's king cakes. I really do love their king cakes, I just wish they had more cinnamon in them and their icing didn't taste like lemons. It's not the flavor you're expecting when you're craving king cake.

I bought 2 king cake to try. I got the strawberry cream cheese flavor and the raspberry cream cheese flavor. The strawberry was soft and delicious while the raspberry was a dry and stale.

Disappointed had Claudia's cakes before and become a fan however The cake I purchased at Cansecos was Stale, hardly any icing it was a black n gold Not sure whats happening But I can't afford to lose another $23 Won't be buying another Maybe Caludas can put a baked date on box

Apple flan... that's all they needed to tell me and I was sold! I love apples and I love flan, so this king cake was perfect for me. First off, Caluda's main location was easy to get to. Customer service was great and they know what they're doing when it comes to king cakes. The box was sealed nicely with plastic to keep cake fresh. There is a small section on the box, where you can see part of the king cake. Just looking at it was a treat... so aesthetically pleasing. Opening it and smelling it was the best, but tasting it was the absolute bestest. Before I get into the taste, let me just tell you how beautiful of a presentation the king cake was, with sliced apples layered over the top topped with edible glitter. It looked too beautiful to eat. I couldn't resist and had to cut into it and start chowing down. The cake itself was so moist and the layer of flan was incredible + the apples took the cake. I was in heaven. This was the best $32 I ever spent on a king cake and I would do it over and over again! There are no places in Baton Rouge that do this, so I was glad to be able to get down to NOLA the day before Mardi Gras to grab one. Caluda's... I'm a fan for life =)

Located in Northern California. Ordered online, received in 2days via fedex as promised. Delicious and fresh. Good amount of diabetes..err, I mean icing just how I like it lol. Was my first time trying King Cake, I will for sure use them for all my future King Cake purchases. Cheaper than a lot of other websites as well. Comes in a cool Mardi Gras FedEx box as well lol. Only gripe is I wish they would hide the baby, instead of having it on top of the cake. No fun in finding out who gets the lucky slice!

King cake #6 this season was a Caluda's traditional and I can see why this made the list of Top 20 king cakes in Nola. The icing was ridiculously sweet and delicious and it had the classic sugar crystals! I still have to visit their original location. This cake was picked up at King Cake Hub.

Very disappointed - Caluda's wouldn't ship to the DC area, so I had to ship it myself. Because they were too cheap to even put the king cake in a bag (like every bread product), it arrived sloppy and bare. Sticking to the original Randazzo's, like the old days.

Best king cake ever. Seriously. Wao. So fresh,moist...not overwhelming but still delicious. Oh my!

I ordered a cake for Easter to be delivered in Ca. I have been waiting to try their cakes and was super excited. Unfortunately this cake could not be eaten as it was completely ruined. I contacted Caluda's many times by phone, text and email with no response. I am out $57 for cake and shipping. If you offer shipping then your product should be edible.

I never had a king cake before, tastes kinda like a donut. We have their brand where I work and it tasted pretty good as far as first impressions go. It was the size of a personal pan pizza, so basically perfect for two since it's a cake.

Caludas is a classic king cake spot and their cakes are always fresh and moist, even when shipping. I recently had one shipped to my clients in Memphis and it arrived on time and tasty! These are always a hit with out of town guests and a fun way to share a NOLA tradition.

Caluda's is my go to King Cake shop! They always keep you coming back with the flavor of the week. Some past favorites have been the cookie dough stuffed king cake, the white chocolate bread pudding stuffed king cake, and the bananas foster stuffed king cake. If you are more of a purist you can not go wrong with just an original or cream cheese King Cake from Caluda's. The line here can get pretty long some mornings, but the staff is extremely efficient and usually keeps the line moving pretty quickly.

I live in Seattle, WA & ordered a king cake online. It was a quick & easy process. They filled my order timely & shipped it out. Due to unexpected weather it delayed my delivery by 2 days. But, Caluda's wrapped & packed it & there was no flavor lost. This is by far one of the most flavorful cakes I have tried! Its full of cinnamony goodness. So good :) Thank you.

One of my favorite places for a traditional king cake! The specialty and filled ones are good too, but I prefer the traditional cake. Much shorter lines than Randazzo's and just as good if not better in my opinion. I love that they have a mini size which is perfect for 1 or 2 people. You can also order king cakes from there year-round so you can get your fill whenever the craving strikes, although I do believe king cake tastes better during the official carnival season.

Incredible king cakes, Chocolate fudge brownie may be my favorite of what we have tried We have only tried 4 flavors since we live about 45 minutes away, but they've all been delicious, not too sweet, perfect, the only reason I took a star off is cause it's so far away I'm disappointed cause We can't eat as many, lol, which is probably a good thing

One of the best king cakes I have had. I got the cream cheese and the filling was fairly consistent throughout the cake.

I had a cream cheese filled King Cake shipped to me in the Midwest. It arrived on the day I had scheduled and it was absolutely delicious. My guests raved about it!

Yesterday morning, I went to Canseco in Arabi to buy a praline cream cheese king cake - It was very delicious and very fresh...My family and myself were very pleased!

Unfortunately I will never try to buy another king cake from here. My husband and I drove 3 HOURS to get a Bananas Foster king cake. I called about 30 minutes before arriving to make sure they had them. They said there were 3 left and I asked them to hold one for me, we were on The way and would be there soon. They said ok. When we got there, a lady in front of us was buying the last 2!!! I was furious and will never go back. We went get a Randazzo.

We got a low carb king from Caluda's and it was delicious!! This is our first year doing Keto so it was nice to find a bakery that has low carb options. It was a lot more pricey than a regular sized king cake. It was the size of a small plate, not very big for $15. But we enjoyed it very much. Worth the price. It reminded me more of a cinnamon pound cake and a little more dense than the usual king cake. But again it was delicious and we didn't have to miss out on our Mardi Gras treat.

I'm a home grown New Orleanian, and this is by far THE BEST KING CAKE IN THE CITY! The quality of the product is top notch! The service is great too! A local, family owned business. I met one of the Caluda daughters picking up some king cakes with my mom, a sweetheart! The staff is very personable and friendly. I highly recommend giving this bakery a try! A plus... they serve their king cakes year around! :)

So glad I took a friend recommendations to try a new place for King Cakes. Since I went late in the day, they only had traditional and Oreo Cream Cakes left. I purchased the Oreo Cream Cakes and was also tempted to purchase a mini individual size traditional king cakes also. I've always get our King Cakes from Haydel Bakery, which I had some earlier in the Mardi Gras season. We were having a get together so I decided to bring a King Cake from a different place to try. We had Caluda's Oreo Cream Cakes and also Dong Phuong King Cakes. Most of use enjoyed the Caluda's better then from Dong Phuong. Caluda's is moist and fresh and cinnamon taste with Oreo Cream in the middle. The shop keeper recommend to go early if I want different flavors next time because I wanted to try their raspberries cream cheese king cake. They serves fresh king cakes to the New Orleans Metro Area year-round so I might just come when it dies down.

Horrible customer service and communication for online orders, consider a different company for your King Cake needs if you actually want to celebrate. I placed an online order on January 29th for delivery on February 14th - a first King Cake surprise for my husband. The 14th arrives and nothing is delivered - disappointment for all. I contact the company on Saturday, February 15th since I also never received a tracking number. During my call they provide me with a tracking number and tell me that the order shipped late but should arrive by the evening of the 15th. I contacted FedEx with the tracking number and was informed that while Caluda's created a shipping label they actually never provided the package for shipment. I called Caluda's again and the customer service representative tracked the order and was confused when she saw that my order hadn't been shipped. She was supposed to check-in with her supervisor and call me back with next steps but never did. I called again today (2/19/20) to check-in since FedEx still hasn't received the order. This time the customer service representative was openly hostile and refused to let me talk to her supervisor while claiming that my item was sent to FedEx - regardless of the fact that FedEx's website clearly shows otherwise when the order is tracked. While this team is happy to take your money, they handle challenges extremely poorly. I'm going to submit a complaint through my bank. Next year I will go back to ordering from Randazzo's since they are reliable and respectful.

Five stars for service! Everyone is sooo nice here! It's a plus that it's right by my apt. I love the variety of king cakes and the different non-traditional flavors they offer. I definitely go for fun flavor Friday's. This week, I got the Oreo cream king cake and Wedding cake king cake. But in actuality, it was not a wedding cake king cake. instead i recieved a pineapple/lemon filling. I'm not a fruit filled typed king cake eater. My co workers at the hospital enjoyed it. but i wasn't able to enjoy it cause i was sold a "wedding cake" flavored king cake and received something different. The oreo cream cheese king cake was good, but i would have liked the filling to be an oreo's and cream (buttercream). I was expecting a buttercream oreo filling. It was good, but i probably won't get these two flavors. The bread is more of a brioche with a hint of citrus to it. The bread is soft, which i do enjoy. I don't like thick dense breads. therefore i love the texture of this bread. I paid roughly for two filled cakes about $55.

I live in Arizona but it has become a tradition each year for our family to order a king cake for Mardi Gras. I usually order from another place but they were sold out, so based on reviews, I went with Caluda's. I ordered a raspberry and cream cheese filled king cake. & Oh my goodness we are very happy that we found Caluda's. One of the best king cakes I have had so far and I have tried them from a few different places on my trips to NOLA. FedEx had some issues getting it to me on time, but that is no fault of the business & even with the extra days the cake was still fresh and delicious. We will definitely make this our go to for king cake here at home, and when we visit New Orleans. Looking forward to trying other flavors next season.

Very disappointed in my delivered King Cake. A plastic souvenir cup had been put on top of cake and whole side was smashed flat cake. Had ordered for Mardi Gras party. Did NOT make a pleasing presentation.
