In reply to Tammy.

hey Tammy! Yes that is the traditional cake/filling but they put other things in there too… fruit, cream cheese, pecan praline…. I would say one cake of this recipe would serve 10-12 depending on size. There isn;t a standard serving size lol

Hi Barbara, and Sharon:
Great blog! How many people would you say each cake feeds, and is cinnamon sugar the “traditional” filling?
Thank you!

Barb, yes start your own food blog! I'll love you forever for this recipe! Sharon, thanks for sharing her. This cake is wonderful and pulled my socks out of a fire. I couldn't find my recipe anywhere and had to make one. Thanks so much for sharing.

Love the history lesson and how the story was told. You obviously got the writing gene too. Start your own food/cooking blog, you’re a natural.

I would read Barbara’s blog! There are plenty of food blogs out there, but very few good ones. Recipes, tips, photos and cute stories…isn’t that what we all want?

Barbara you really do need to start your own blog. I live in New Orleans and was in the French Quarter yesterday and know exactly what Mardi Gras and King Cakes are. You hit the nail on the spot with this awesome blog and recipe on King Cakes. I have never made one before, but will definitely try to make one since you show each step on the process. Thank you sooo much.

Oh. My. King Cake! Holy cow! It’s fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing and the how-to’s. I just got them done tonight. The only problem I had is my filling seeped out some but I guess it’s my rolling skills. Gotta work on those!
