Shipping Questions

Q: Can I send a kingcake to Alaska, Hawaii or a foreign address?

A: We only ship to the 48 states in the continental United States. Unfortunately, we cannot ship to Alaska, Hawaii or a foreign address. Often times items shipped out of the country can be held up in customs which could compromise the quality and freshness of the cake.

Q: I want a king cake delivered on a certain date, when should I order the cake?

A: In the ordering process, you have the option to select your delivery date by clicking on the calendar and just choosing the date you wish the cake to be delivered.

Product Questions

Q: What are the popular filling choices?

A: Our best selling fillings are Bavarian Cream, Strawberry Cream Cheese, Blueberry Cream Cheese, and Apple.

Q: Why are there two filling options?

A: The second filling option is for a cake that is half one filling and half the other. The fillings are not mixed.

Q: Does the cake come with the baby baked inside?

A: Due to the potential choking hazard, we cannot insert the plastic baby into the cake prior to shipping. Instead, the baby is placed in the center ring of each cake so that you can insert the baby yourself and still enjoy the tradition.

Q: I am having a Mardi Gras inspired party at my office and I need to know how many people one of your king cakes will feed. Also, do they come in different sizes?

A: We have one size that generally serves 15-20 people. Pieces should be cut between one to two inches wide.

Q: How long does a king cake stay fresh and is freezing the cake recommended?

A: Our king cakes will still be delicious within 5-7 days of receiving it. The cakes come in a plastic bag and have stayed fresh longer than the 5-7 day period suggested. We do not recommend freezing your king cake as the defrosting can make it soggy and messy.
