Before you know it, it will be Carnival. My wife and daughters recently visited the King Cake Hub and I am told it was delightful. They came home with a cake from Haydel’s, and I was well pleased. “It’s like what I imagine McKenzie’s used to taste like, except not dry” is what I said. I liked McKenzie’s king cakes, for the record.
It’s a great idea: a central location you can go and buy a king cake from a bunch of different bakeries. It’s the Tsukiji fish market for king cakes. And it works, too. You can either show up in person at 636 North Broad, at the Broad Theater, for socially-distanced shopping or you can order online and then show up in person at 636 North Broad to pick up your selection.
