Busken Bakery · Hyde Park
Busken bakes king cakes through the Mardi Gras season, which runs from Twelfth Night to Fat Tuesday, and sells them at its Hyde Park bakery on Madison Road. Choose the traditional cinnamon filling, or the cheese or the berry deluxe.
Graeter's Ice Cream · Hyde Park
Graeter's bakery makes king cakes for the Mardi Gras season, which runs from Twelfth Night to Fat Tuesday, and sells them in its stores. The scratch-made dough is filled with a homemade cinnamon butter, dipped in warm icing the way the bakery dips its danishes, then topped with purple, green and yellow sugar and, as a Graeter's touch, little candied cherries.
