The reigning King Cake Champion Gets a Royal Court! For 15 years, Bayou Bakery has been the DMV's Mardi Gras Headquarters, and both New Orleanians and lovers of this great city know there’s truly one way to take part in the Carnival Season - ya gotta have a King Cake! This year, New Orleans native Chef David Guas is pulling out all the stops with something exciting, adding TWO NEW KING CAKE FLAVORS - KING COCOA and STRAWBERRY SWIRL! Each King Cake follows that signature, secret ingredient - handcrafted daily, utilizing European techniques, without preservatives, for a fresh and tasteful Danish-style Cake. It is filled with a signature Creole Cream Cheese [and either a custom chocolate spread or strawberry preserves].  ALL are crowned with fluffy White Icing with hints of Vanilla and Lemon and a Royal procession of traditional Mardi Gras trinity of sugars - gold for power, green for faith, purple for justice - and a fourth color, depicting the specific cake’s flavor. A lil' something extra - a Tiny Plastic Baby, Mardi Gras Beads, and a festive Card providing the history of the King Cake are included in the colorful, decorative box.
