Rheinlander Bakery · Olde Town Arvada
Arvada's bakery turns king cake into a choice of cinnamon, almond, cream cheese and strawberry cream cheese. The cake comes dressed for Carnival with beads and a baby to hide; there are personal size cakes as well. Its ordering counter is on Olde Wadsworth Boulevard.
Katherine's French Bakery & Café · Bonnie Brae
The University Boulevard bakery rolls cinnamon sugar or raspberry, chocolate, pecan or almond filling into its king cakes. White icing and purple, gold and green sugar finish them, with beads and a baby included. The cakes are baked to order during the Mardi Gras season.
Trompeau Bakery + Cafe · Englewood
The South Broadway bakery offers two king cake styles: a traditional decorated version and a French version with almond paste inside and no icing or colored sugar. The Englewood shop also makes bread, croissants and quiche. Order the French cake if you want a quieter pastry for the same celebration.
La Fillette Bakery · East Colfax
La Fillette makes a traditional iced king cake to order for Mardi Gras. Ask about the next Carnival run before going to the East 14th Avenue bakery.
Safta · RiNo
Safta's take is a babka king cake, swirled with brown sugar cinnamon and homemade pfeffernüsse spice cookies. Salted cinnamon caramel tops it, and a pomegranate charm replaces the usual baby. This is a restaurant version of the Carnival cake at the Source hotel, rather than a bakery counter's classic ring.
