Damn ye, O King Cake!

Picture of one of Last Year's King Cake


Undoing all the good work of my new bike (that I'm inclined to dub Molly), is a McKenzie's King Cake. For all you non-natives not in on the secret, several Tastee Donut shops in Metairie carry the traditional sugar brioche king cake made from the McKenzie's bakery recipe, which for me, is the only king cake entitled to the name.

No icing covered, filled, or French varieties will cross this threshold! This is the only way to go (although a Plain Haydel's is a close second).

And it's Going, Going, GONE!
