Let’s not beat around the bead-covered bush any longer. Our panel of tasters has placed the 2012 Times-Picayune/NOLA.com King Cake King crown on the pecan praline king cake at Manny Randazzo King Cakes in Metairie.
“Delicious. It’s like a good praline crossed with a caramel cake,” wrote one of the judges. Another commented, “I would buy this and eat it in one sitting.”
For six weeks, panels of judges from The Times-Picayune and the food and arts communities tasted and scored cakes at each of six bakeries, which readers selected as their favorites in our online polls.
We traveled to Nonna Randazzo's Bakery and Caffe, Haydel's Bakery, Gambino's Bakers, Manny Randazzo King Cake, Sucre and Randazzo's Camellia City Bakery.
