Caluda's King Cake

One of my Yelp friends (shoutout to Earnest) actually recommended me to check out Caluda's for their king cakes, and man was he on point with his recommendation! I got their medium sized Cream Cheese King Cake ($27.95) for my family and a slice for myself ($5.95). The texture was really soft. The flavor consisted of subtle hints of cinnamon and lemon which I really liked. The cream cheese just added more zest to the king cake flavor. I actually got there 30 minutes early before they opened at 7 am, and there was already a line; hence, this was on a normal Wednesday too! The service was nice, quick, and patient. The owner actually thanked all of us in person for waiting in line which was nice of him to do. The inside was a bit small, but it's mostly a pick up area instead of a dining place

I tried to order my king cakefor delivery before I left New Orleans and the places people told me to order from were closed for deliveries. So since I had never had a long cake, I figured I couldn't lose so I tried Caluda's. Not sure what to expect since it was being delivered from NOLA. Caluda's kept me informed of my order status. I was impressed that everything was separated. King cake, frosting, sprinkles, beads/baby/cup. Easy to follow directions to frost the cake. The cake felt and taste like it had just been baked that day. So moist and fluffy, ienjoyed some without frosting and it was good. The frosting was the cherry on top. I mean I'm mad I only ordered 3 cakes! I wish I had taken pics before I left home, but my hubby sent these to me...

Hello king cake masters!!! I am enjoying my cream cheese king cake with some coffee… Wow super rich and bitter coffee. Just to find some balance. Well my little southern brunette shipped over to me for valentine’s as I cant be there for the mardi gras celebrations. I havent heard about the king cake until about a month ago and here I am enjoying it. Greetings from miami beach!!!

We ordered a king cake through Goldbelly delivery. When it arrived, the purple sprinkle packet was open and empty. That was not the worst, there was also a large piece of a bug in the icing packet which we found as we were applying the icing to the cake. When I contacted caluda’s about the unsanitary food items, they responded that I should contact Goldbelly. I don’t think Goldbelly packs the cakes nor do they package the icing. Very poor and disgusting service.

I'm sure their King Cakes are great - if you actually get to eat one. I moved away from LA last year and my family and I were missing the Mardi Gras season. So I decided to order two King Cakes to be shipped to Michigan. Most of the popular bakeries had long wait lists, but Caluda had availability. They even had the option to schedule the delivery in advance to arrive on a particular day. So I ordered (2/2) and scheduled the delivery on Lundi Gras (2/17). I paid and received an email confirmation. On the Friday before (2/14) I received an automated email from saying "Your Caluda's King Cake order has shipped!" Woohoo! So far so good, but the package never made it to Fedex. I watched the tracking for the next few days but the status never changed. Still "Label Created". On Lundi Gras the
