joycek Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Ok, so I know Mardi Gras is a week behind us. However, I have been anointed as the party planner for a New Orleans/LA themed send off for a coworker who is being sent to LA for a year long assignment on a recovery project that my company manages. I need one or two king cakes - plain is fine, no fancy fillings necessary. I know a few area bakeries and restaurants were serving them up until Fat Tuesday, but not anymore apparently. Any ideas? Will anyone do a special order? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinDC Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I saw some yesterday at the local Giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scj32 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 If you don't mind mail order, these are the best king cakes... www.gambinos.com/ You can probably get next day delivery if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txaggie Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 You could also call Louisiana Express in Bethesda or French Quarter Cafe in Germantown and see if they will make you a King Cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 A former co-worker gets her King Cake each year from Haydel's Bakery. I can attest that they are pretty darn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinDC Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I saw them in the Giant in Chevy Chase. The new one on Wisconsin Ave. in the same complex as all of the fancy shops. Obviously didn't taste them, but they did look good to my eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
