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.
