There are even more bakeries lined up for 2022. Stay tuned. Meanwhile, check out the tentative 2022 Mardi Gras Parade Schedule!
Countdown to Epiphany
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 joined the daily lineup! We are so proud of our collaboration with Gambino's Bakery and pleased and thankful by the response!
