Tomorrow is Mardi Gras, and I always love to celebrate with King Cake! Does anyone know of any bakeries that sell it? Jean-Jacques in Carytown used to, but I think they’ve shut down.

I just baked a few. I’ll sell them for the right price. 😂

When I worked at Montana Gold we used to make them every year and I think they still do. Best to call today if you want one tomorrow. They probably will have a few extras but mostly just prep what was ordered.
And yeah Jean-Jacques closed after the unfortunate passing of the owners.

Thank you, I've been meaning to try bakeries lately. I called them just now and they said pick up for tomorrow after 12.

Wegmans Midlo had some last week.

They had it at Publix Carytown last week but it was disappointing. And I'm still angry the baby is on the outside!

You aren't going to find anyone who puts a plastic baby in a cake for you because it's a choking hazard. Just stuff the baby in yourself.

They used to put the plastic baby in the cake. That was the entire fricking point. But some asshole somewhere sued over swallowing the baby - that EVERYONE knew was in there, mind you - and now we can't have nice things.

Yeah it’s the point but it’s also pointless and plastic is dumb, let’s just skip the baby and put special food coloring in one piece or something

That’s sad :( that’s half of the fun

Up All Night in Lakeside is making them, check to see if they've sold out yet.

Great Harvest might have them. I know they were advertising them but I'm not sure if they were pre-order only.

I picked one up at Great Harvest Bread Co. in Midlo on Friday and it was pretty delish. Looks like you can still order them online for same-day pick-up.

My neighbor is on his way to Montana Gold in Carytown right now to get the King cake.

Fresh Market in Carytown had a few yesterday when I was in.

Still have them tonight too! Cinnamon filled inside

Ukrops makes them, but it looks like they’re sold out online, and I think the Market Hall is closed Mondays.
But you may have some luck at a Kroger or Publix finding one?

Short Pump Kroger had a good amount of the Ukrops ones this afternoon!

I purchased one at Kroger on W Broad besides Sams Club for about $12 on Friday and ordered one from Pearls Bakery for almost $50 and they had a few left in the case when I was there an hour ago
