Moeller's

This longtime Bellaire Boulevard bakery makes Mardi Gras king cakes in two sizes: a small cake serves ten to fifteen, while a large one serves at least twenty. Raspberry or cream cheese filling is available, or a combination of the two, with beads included. Order the small cake with the combination filling, and look for the Mardi Gras cookies and cupcakes alongside it.
