Though they might not get all the press, I write with confidence knowing that La Louisiane is an outstanding bakery in the New Orleans area. Located in a semi-sleepy warehouse'y area of Elmswood, they manage to crank out delicious baked goods daily and have made a name for themselves through local catering. While they bake a number of things, I think it's safe to say cakes are their most popular item. They make really awesome wedding cakes, sheet cakes, cupcakes, and a really stellar king cake. The latter is available year round, which is really convenient. The doberge cake is perfect for chocolate lovers and the NOLA wedding cake is decadent. A lot of people sleep on their ooey gooey cake, but it's definitely one of the most indulgent things they make. Their custom cakes look incredible and are extremely creative. They also bake some really high quality bread. From french bread to pastries, they can produce stuff perfect for building the perfect muffuletta, poboy, or the underrated but always lovely pullman loaves. They also make muffins, fruit tarts, pies, and the coolest swan shaped cream puffs. Delivery is available and the customer service is really outstanding. Email is an easy way to get in touch but they're really good about helping folks establish the perfect sweet / tasty lineup for all special occasions. read more

Another solid King Cake bakery. I haven't been to the actual store. Their cakes are at various locations around the city. A coworker brought this one today. We had the pecan praline version which was more of a topping then a filling. The pecan praline was tasty without being too sweet (emphasis on pecan rather than praline which I appreciated). I did have to dump off some of the icing. That was a little too sweet for me first thing in the morning. Tasty. read more

La Louisiane Bakery did my daughter's wedding cake and we were very happy with it. Not only was it beautiful but it tasted incredible!!! My daughter chose different flavors for the different layers and they were all yummy. We had quite a bit of leftover cake and it was still fresh a week later!! The groom's cake was shaped like a book since the groom loves to write and it was the best chocolate cake I've ever tasted. Our guests raved about the cake and many of them had several pieces. I would absolutely recommend this bakery for your wedding needs. read more

Guess what day it is. That's right! It's King Cake Day 2019 at our apartment! My mom (a true Louisiana lady) has been sending us king cakes for years since we live so far away. I grew up looking forward to king cake each year, and unless it's made in Louisiana it just ain't that good. We have been receiving La Louisiane king cakes for years now, and we look forward to every single bite. As soon as we finish our king cake each year we start counting down the days until we get our refill the following year! This particular Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday for the uninitiated) the cake arrived extra fresh and delicious. Now, I don't have to give you a geography lesson, but Kent, Washington is a heck of a long ways away from New Orleans (pronounced N'worluns), and don't it just beat all that it tastes just like it came right out the oven and rolled around in the icing and glitter? Why, the plastic Baby Jesus himself was hanging on to that cake just about ready to dive in! This cake traveled 2,604 miles just for us, and let me tell y'all right there that we will treasure every bite. Laissez les bons temps rouler! Thank ya kindly, La Louisiane! read more

I ordered a cake for my friends 30th birthday. I kind of waited until the last minute, but they were able to accommodate. Not only did the cake look phenomenal, but it was delicious. I also I thought the cake would be covered in fondant but it wasn't. The cake was so perfectly smooth and beautiful that the fondant was not missed at all. read more

Really good cakes. My company orders cakes for our parties and the cream and filling are always delicious. They work very last minute so you can place orders a day or so in advance. We usually get sheet cakes to feed 100. read more

My step mom ordered my baby shower cake from La Louisiane and every guest loved it! We went with a funfetti cake with the white chocolate strawberry filling and ameriswiss buttercream frosting. It was amazing! They nailed the twinkle twinkle little star theme as well. I am so pleased with how it turned out and can't wait for them to create my wedding cake next year! read more

We used La Louisiane to prepare both our wedding cake and king cake for the grooms cake. We did not do an official cake tasting since we were planning from out of state but we worked closely with Amanda via email and she executed our vision perfectly. We got married during Hurricane Nate and the bakery was more than willing to accommodate a last minute 5 hour schedule change. The cakes were delivered on time and taste delicious. The cakes have been the talk among all of our guests. We are grateful for all the hard work that the team put into making our chaotic weekend successful! read more

La Louisiane Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I recently stumbled upon a top king cake list and I saw a picture of the king cake that was from La Louisiane bakery. Right away, I loved how fluffy the king cake looked compared to this flat one that someone had bought me from Randazzo's. I cut it open and I fell in love with how soft, moist, and fluffy it was. The box said that it used a traditional brioche dough. My favorite part is how this king cake is not smothered in cinnamon where it is so overpowering it dries your mouth out. Yum! read more

Great amazing cakes! They made my Pinterest inspired wedding cake better than I could have hoped for! Easy to work with! I had a thanksgiving wedding and they were super professional and all around great! read more

La Louisiane supplies the pastries for my regular coffee shop Uptown. My coffee shop opens at 8am daily, and I visit at least 4 times a week right around when they open. On days that La Louisiane feels like making their delivery on time, I absolutely love to order their cinnamon rolls and muffins. Only problem, they are grossly unreliable. I waited from 8:30 to 10:15 this morning for them to show up with their delivery, and they never came! How hard is it to stick to a delivery schedule of 8AM EVERY SINGLE DAY??? Something HAS to change. Inconsistency and arrogance kill small businesses. I hope they can work out their problems with reliability, because their pastries are excellent. read more

I did not know why people on The Knot said their guests did not like eating wedding cakes. Then i had to go wedding cake tasting for my own wedding, and i understood why! I tried all the well-rated bakeries and was about to give up and just get the cheapest since they were all so bad. La Louisiane was the last on my list. It was such a surprise and a relief! The cake + frosting had the right texture and taste. They also were the only ones to allow ombre in the cake batter, whereas all the other bakeries will mass-produce their cake sheets, making any customization of the batter impossible. That alone meant a lot, since the cake would be baked, cut and decorated just for me. The price was also very reasonable compared to the small-batch bakeries that were willing to do ombres. Highly recommended for a tasty, pretty wedding cake. read more

I did not expect to get a cake because I don't like fondant and didn't even realize there was such a thing as a "naked" cake until I saw it at other people's weddings. I also thought I would just get dessert, but as it turns out, getting a cake was more affordable than getting dessert at my venue. I saw a La Louisiane cake at my venue's instagram and after reading the reviews, expect it to be super expensive. I was surprised by how affordable our naked red velvet cake was! It was also DELICIOUS! Moister than I expected and the frosting was not too sweet. LaLou also did our desserts and I can particularly recommend the sugar cookies and key lime pie which were particular favorites. I would not hesitate to go back here if I had another event. read more

I got a Chantilly cake from here for a work party and it was great! The cake was beautiful and was so delicious!

I ordered a cake for my mom's 75th birthday with only a week's notice. Not only was La Louisiane able to accommodate my order, but Amanda responded to my request very quickly and was patient with my many questions.I had not had any real previous knowledge of the bakery. I choose it solely on the many photos on its Facebook page showing incredibly beautiful cakes. I chose one from the page and was not disappointed. The cake was absolutely delicious! Everyone at the party raved about it for days afterward. read more

So this bakery was highly recommended to me by my mom. She ordered my brother a few cakes from La Louisiane in the past and ranted and raved about them so when we decided to have a destination wedding in New Orleans we decided to give them a shot. My daughter, mother, and I went to a cake testing in January. The selection was very limited but very good. I ordered a 3-tier wedding cake. Top and bottom layer was to be their white wedding cake with almond mousseline and raspberry filling and the middle layer was to be chocolate cake with their pecan praline mousseline. I, myself, being a pastry chef know what I liked and what I ordered. When our wedding came in April, a week ago, to my surprise upon cutting the cake, most of the cake was not what I ordered. The top and bottom layer were white cake with buttercream and the middle layer was white cake also with supposedly the pecan praline mousseline. I never saw the middle layer but some of my guest said there was a brown filling that they couldn't figure out what it was. Some guest said that the cake was good and I admit the cake was good also but missing far to many components. I was VERY disappointed!!! When letting the cake decorator, Amanda, know how I felt. She basically had an "ole well attitude" and told me that I was wrong on what I ordered. The only mistake she admitted was leaving the raspberry filling out. I'm sorry but a wedding cake is a major part at a wedding. My order was pretty straight forward and not hard at all. I wouldn't order anything from them going forward just because of her attitude. read more

There aren't enough stars to describe how amazing this bakery is. We ordered our wedding cake for last november & if there was a word better than perfect to describe it, that would be. We ordered the white chocolate mousse & it was so fresh. There was not a negative word about our cake & our guests literally took multiple pieces home. To this day, people compliment our cake. A lot of our guests even thought the cake was fake that's how beautiful it was. Amanda & her staff did an amazing job & were so great to work with to help make our day perfect. The price is worth it, trust me! read more
