Key Points:
- Bywater Bakery in New Orleans chooses not to ship their popular king cakes, citing issues with delivery timing and the cakes losing quality during transit.
- The bakery emphasizes that their king cakes are best enjoyed fresh and locally, as the sugary icing tends to melt and lose its appeal when shipped.
- Bywater Bakery’s king cakes feature a modern twist with cream cheese, butter, brown and powdered sugars, and they have recently introduced new flavors, including a savory crawfish option.
- Founded in 2017 by Chaya Conrad, the bakery has expanded from king cakes to a full breakfast and lunch menu, building on Conrad’s extensive experience in bakery management and recipe development.
- Conrad is also known for creating the Berry Chantilly Cake
