Bittersweet Confections, 725 Magazine St., New Orleans, is adding a satsuma bourbon pecan king cake to its lineup. “Our braided brioche is filled with cinnamon butter, glazed with a satsuma icing and garnished with bourbon soaked pecans,” the baker said. It’s most popular cake is the chocolate one.
