That's a Wrap on Season 3!
King Cake Hub returns January 6, 2022! Our 2021 season is now complete and we had a great time at the beloved Mid-City landmark Broad Theater! Located at 636 N Broad Street, the Broad has become an important neighborhood institution and we are excited to be partnering with them and their new outdoor event venue- the Broadside.
Our third season featured over 60 varieties of your favorite king cakes from Gambino's, Hi Do, Bywater Bakery, Cannata's, Caludas, NOCCA, Sugar Love Bakery, Zuppardo's,Β Caywood and Randazzo's, plus new flavors of the super-yummy Epiphany King Cake and the return of Dragon Claw! Plus, we welcomed Brennan's Restaurant, Gracious Bakery, Breads on Oak and Bittersweet Confections as brand-new bakery partners and featured a new collaboration between NOCCA and Steve Himelfarb of Cake Cafe!
Stay tuned for details on our 2022 season coming soon!

One Week To Go!
One Month to Carnival 2021! Owner Will Samuels unveils the full king cake lineup and announces a new bakery partner!


Nutella Epiphany joins the daily lineup for 2021!
We knew we had a hit with our Epiphany King Cake when we sold out on the first day of release in 2019 and it has gotten even more popular with the release of last year's Cream Cheese and Praline flavors. In 2021, Nutella Epiphany joins the daily lineup! We are so proud of our collaboration with Gambino's Bakery and pleased and thankful by the response!Β

Carnival Kickoff and Countdown to Carnival!
Our 2021 Carnival Kickoff is coming up in a new location! We'll be at the Broadside, 600 N Broad Street, for a socially-distanced masks-required party! We'll celebrate the launch of the Carnival season with Benny Grunch and the Bunch, Professor Carl Nivale, and Grand Marshal Marty GrawΒ (pictured at right) cutting the first piece of King Cake! Check out this great video from Nola.com and reserve your spot via Eventbrite as space is very limited due to COVID restrictions and social distancing guidelines. Note that there is a $5 charge per ticket (so we can accommodate if COVID tracking is needed) but you will get a $5 credit for each ticket purchased for use that day at the King Cake Hub. We'll see you January 6, 2021 from 8-10am!
We'll get a jump on things with our Countdown to Carnival Kickoff at the New Orleans Jazz Museum on Tuesday, January 5, 2021 from 5-6pm featuring jazz legend Wendell Brunious in concert! Stay tuned for more details.
