Two years ago, on a sunny Saturday afternoon in New Orleans, I made my first (and only) visit to the King Cake Hub. Set up on the long, narrow side porch of a 19th-century mansion that now functions as a haunted house and escape room venue, the Hub was basically a tunnel of king cakes. Boxes of cakes blocked the light, weighing down metal shelves and teetering in precarious stacks. To take a step inside was to be surrounded with every flavor and filling imaginable, from bakeries across New Orleans and greater Louisiana.
