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 selling festive king cakes.
This piece was inspired by readers Brandi N. + Alison M., who emailed us asking where to find the seasonal treats in the Holy City.
- APFlour | King cakes and sugar cookies are available — preorder by Tuesday, Feb. 25.
- Sugar Bakeshop Charleston | Place an order to guarantee yourself a chance to try the twist this downtown shop puts on the classic king cake, featuring Mia’s sour cream cinnamon pecan swirl pound cake.
- Mercantile and Mash | To receive your purple, green, and gold treats, place an order by Thursday, Feb. 27.
Pro tip: If you find the plastic baby in your slice, congrats it signifies luck, prosperity, and that you’re in charge of providing the king cake for next year’s celebrations.
If you know of a bakery offering the classic Mardi Gras treat, send us an email.
