Laissez les bons temps rouler! There's nothing that screams Mardi Gras more than king cake! Before you scroll down to see the list of places you where you can indulge in one of our most cherished treats, here are a few things you should know before biting into a slice:

  • Traditionally, king cake is made with a brioche dough with a cinnamon or cream cheese filling. The top is covered with frosting and purple, gold and green sprinkles/edible glitter.   

  • Proceed with caution before biting into a king cake! Your piece may have a tiny baby; if you get it, the next king cake is on you!  

  • In Mobile, king cake comes in many forms and flavors including ice cream, cupcakes and cocktails. Pick your favorite and tell us all about it when you're through!

Without further ado, here is an appetizing list of places to get king cake in Mobile.
