It’s that time of the year again – which means we’re obligated to provide a Cajun Recruiter approved king cake recipe to everyone so y’all don’t miss out on the fun!
King cakes are delicious, flaky pastries topped with icing and sprinkles that include a plastic baby hidden somewhere in the cake. The person who gets the slice that contains the baby is known as the king, hence the name. They are tasked with the responsibility of bringing a king cake to the next event, and the tradition continues thereon until the end of Mardi Gras (or until someone forgets you owe them a cake).
If you don’t feel like baking your own, tons of our local bakeries deliver in the U.S. and some even deliver internationally!
Reach out to us if you need help placing an order or deciding which cake to try!
