[DallasRain]

I may be a "steak & taters: gal from Texas but I LUV LUV LUV New orleans sweets!!

I today discovered the best damn cake anywhere....New Orleans almond wedding cake from Breaux Mart.............OMFG I am in lust!

And those petit fours Barry brought to the m & G were heavenly!

{and creme brulee rocks too}


So what are & where do I find some really good traditional Nola desserts?? Any recipes to share??What's your faves??

Thx!

Pure candy I would always say pralines. But my favorite New Orleans dessert is White Chocolate Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce.

I wanna send my mom in Texas something sweet from Nola....any suggestions people??

Many places ship King cakes this time of year and some put extra stuff in the package like beads and stuff to send a little Mardi Gras their way.

Definitely send her a King Cake. Lots of people don't like them, but the old-style King Cakes are great.

Haydel's has the BEST King Cakes, cream cheese, praline, strawberry filled! Omg I want one just thinking about it! Lol They also ship anywhere Dallas.

A friend of mine waits every year for his. I send him one from Rouse's. While I won't say they are the best around it is very good and I get them to include a pound of Community Coffee with it (he can't get that either).

[BootyfulGia]

Rouse's is very good too! They also do filled or original, which is like a cinnamon bun! Ummmmmm.......

Reminds me of my mom. She told me she can't understand why she is always hungry when all she does is watch TV. I asked what she was watching and she said "Food Network"

Almond wedding cake is generally delicious anywhere unless it's really poorly made. Petite Fours are usually yummy as well. But you can't beat Randazzo's king cakes.
