Laissez les bons temps rouler. Translation: let the good times roll. Mardi Gras is around the corner, so we’ve rounded up some local bakeries that are selling king cakes.

This piece was inspired by reader Alison M., who emailed us asking where to find king cake in Charleston. We’ve since had several readers email in with their favorite spots to pick up the purple, green, and gold treats.

Pro tip: If you find the plastic baby in your slice, that means you provide the next king cake next year.

If you know of a bakery offering the classic Mardi Gras treat, send us an email.
