BATON ROUGE, La (press release) – Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser will unveil a new flavor of king cake developed through a new partnership with Cannata’s Bakeries and Bayou Terrebonne Distillers in Terrebonne Parish. Prepared by experienced, local bakers, this new flavor of king cake marries the only whiskey made from Louisiana corn and whiskey-infused pecans with the Cannata family’s long tradition of baking the Marci Gras staple. The culinary creation will be named “Ti Can Pecan” in honor of the late Filhucan “Ti-Can” Duplantis, widely regarded as the father of Mardi Gras in Houma.
“The distillery where the whiskey is made is a credit to Louisiana ingenuity, created on the banks of the bayou where decades ago its owner’s great-grandmother made her own moonshine,” said Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser. “Much has changed for us during the 2021 Carnival season but the king cake tradition continues stronger than ever.”
