Mardi Gras might have been iced out but you have one last chance to get a little slice of Mardi Gras. Nandy's Candy has one last batch of Randazzo's King Cakes available for sale in traditional and cream cheese flavors. Phone reservations are welcome. They freeze well too. Enjoy.

I've always heard Paul's or Gambino's were "the" king cakes, good to know there is another option in the metro.
You mean it is the time of the year when people pretend to like these sugar crusted abominations?
Seriously, if they were really that good then someone would sell them year round.
Lighten up, 8:38. They're like fried turkey, giblet gravy, sugar cookies, dyed eggs, egg nog, candy corn and Mom's peanut brittle - does the word *seasonal* ring a bell with you? My guess is you're crotchety 'year round'.
@1:26
Most of the food items you named are seasonally homemade. But you can buy then year round at Walmart.
You might say I am “crotchety” but Ii am correct ‘year round’
And if ignorance is bliss then I bet you are the happiest pig in the Smithfield truck.
Nope; I just understand the seasonal consumption nature of the list I mentioned and the one you're complaining about. I also understand crotchety malcontents. Make yourself useful - Get out on the porch and tell kids to get the hell off your lawn.
I like Gambino's but I'm going to make my own king cake this year. It's an easy yeast dough recipe and you can control the amount of sugar you put on top, if you want to. I don't have a baby Jesus doll to put inside the cake so will have to substitute something in its place.
I guess everyone will be wearing a mask for Mardi Gras this year.
Just went by and picked one up, thanks for the heads up Kingfish
" Seriously, if they were really that good then someone would sell them year round.".
Many bakeries do just that.
They only change the color of the sugar this time of year.
Jody's Bakery in Hattiesburg beats them all. Give one a chance if you get the opportunity of being in H'burg.
"I don't have a baby Jesus doll to put inside the cake so will have to substitute something in its place."
How many times a day, on average, do you show your ignorance. It's not 'a baby Jesus doll'. It's simply a little plastic infant. While you're engaged in blasphemy, please remember that gluttony is a sin.
@9:37, your comment is the ignorant one. See below:
King cake is eaten on January 6 in honor of Epiphany, or Twelfth Night, which historically marks the arrival of the three wise men/kings in Bethlehem who delivered gifts to the baby Jesus. (The plastic baby hidden inside king cakes today is a nod to this story.) King cake also appears on tables throughout the Carnival season, which runs from Epiphany to Fat Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent), at which point practitioners typically abstain from such indulgences as cake.

Nonna's is fine, but Manny Randazzo's (it's a big family) is better. Especially their praline cake.
Nothing is as entertaining as watching anonymous people argue with each other about something meaningless. And they take it personally!
Hey I got one last Friday and the Baby was gone on Saturday. I gotta let my blood sugar go down a bit, but I hope to get another before the season is over.
@9:37... your yokel is showing..yes, in FACT, it’s a representation of the baby Jesus along with good luck and having to purchase the next cake.
Each year, one of our suppliers from New Orleans sends a King Cake from Haydel's Bakery. It is always excellent.
Some King Cakes are great. Others suck.
But yeah, up here it's normally a stale (over priced) Danish pastry with colored sugar.
( Marketing at it's best . . . for the goofy suckers that shop at the Madison Kroger) .
Haydel's is pretty darn good. I've had quite a few of those.
You all beat me to it. Haydel's is great.
Randazzo's are indeed the best. We're lucky that a friend sends us one each year. That is a true friend right there.
Or we could all sit at home, all scrunched up in a tattered, over-stuffed chair and bitch about how the world has done us wrong.
Enjoy the moment you damned malcontents!
Just had one the wife bought from Randazzo’s in Hattiesburg. Super fresh and already gone. Glad we don’t live close to one
Most folks in Centeal Mississippi have never had a real King Cake.
The stale crap sold at Kroger is not a King Cake.
Not even close.
Glueing purple, gold and green sugar on to a week old Danish pastry
(while pushing a toy plastic "baby" into it ) . . . is an abomination.
I always get my King Cakes in New Orleans on Fat Tuesday with a bottle of something called "Rampart gut twister" a fine wine. Pukes up just great.
