Mardi Gras season is quickly approaching, and with it comes Louisiana's favorite dessert — king cake.
New Orleanians have strong opinions on their favorite, and Dong Phuong's king cake in New Orleans East is one of the most popular in the city and beyond.
Dong Phuong's king cake is soft bread filled with layers of cinnamon and topped with their signature buttercream icing and has become a familiar taste throughout Louisiana.
There's a chance you have waken up early to go to their bakery, or one of their many resellers, in hopes that you will be the first in a long line of hungry customers waiting to get their hands on the high-demand king cake.
Finding a Dong Phuong king cake can feel like you're playing a strenuous game of Where's Waldo: you're seeing every other brand of king cakes, but failing to spot the one you want to find most.
Luckily, Dong Phuong Bakery posted their official list of 2024 resellers on Facebook. Their king cakes go on sale on Jan. 3, three days before Twelfth Night.
This is where you can find their beloved king cakes in Louisiana and on the Mississippi Coast.
