  • Time Out describes what the Jefferson Highway counter actually sells: sweet brioche dough under generous icing and colored sugar, the shape most people picture when they picture king cake. A Magazine Street location joins the Jefferson bakery, which Time Out says puts the cakes within reach of more of the city. The bakery's own site dates the family to 1959 and claims the Guinness record for the world's largest king cake. Order the traditional iced cake on a weekday, since it closes Sunday and Monday.
