I preordered a King Cake from here during the 2024 season. I picked it up during my prescribed time in person. They did ask for ID and ordering phone number to ensure I was legit. My transition went smooth with no issues. If you do not preorder, then king cakes are a first come first basis. They were sold out this day at 10am. The parking lot was full of folks just to get rejected, they need a better way of telling folks that they are sold out. Maybe they should put a sign at the road??? The traditional king cake was a huge hit at our party. The baby inside the cake is the biggest I have seen in any cake. Enjoy! read more

As a 2019 Louisianan of the year I am always excited when carnival season starts! I have a love hate affair with king cake because of its savory goodness but it's havoc on my hips! Randazzo's never disappoints me. When I lived away from Louisiana hey were my go to to have them deliver. When we were in town we always took one back home. I wouldn't go a carnival season without indulging several times. This the love/hate affair. I love them at the moment and will be hating them in their morning with the extra workout. Now that I live in Slidell they are offered at some of the corner gas stations and even some of the stores. Today I grabbed one and of course it didn't disappoint. Sitting right now enjoying king cake and Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee in my favorite Starbucks mug. I'm in heaven. read more

"Made with love from beginning to end." With a motto like that, the world has truly become a better place because of Randazzo's king cake. Built upon a strong foundation of love, pride, and joy, Randazzo's family recipes have been passed down through the generations since 1965. Mardi Gras and holiday celebrations are not complete without king cake- it's a popular family tradition for Louisiana natives. Any bakery that opens at 6am only to sell out of king cakes within the hour during Mardi Gras season has my utmost respect. It's got to be knock-your-socks-off good if king cakes are sold out before the end of the day! Having been featured on the Food Network, Randazzo's Camellia City certainly has bragging rights in serving up the BEST KING CAKES in NOLA! Randazzo's king cake will dazzle and sparkle up your taste buds, no doubt about it! Don't even bother to waste your money on the competition because you'll regret not having spent it all at Randazzo's. Each king cake is prepared with freshly made dough, meticulously hand-braided, intertwined with sugar and cinnamon, and baked with lots of love to ultimate perfection! Then, the king cake is topped off with homemade creamy icing and Mardi Gras colored sprinkles. Take that first bite and you'll enter a new dimension of king cake euphoria- fluffy, soft, sweet, and cinnamon goodness. It's like eating a cinnamon roll on steroids! Pair it with a hot cup of your favorite coffee to enhance your sugar high. Once you've tried Randazzo's king cake, you will fall in love and be instantly addicted. You can customize your own king cakes with different flavors of fillings and sizes. More flavors are available during Mardi Gras such as turtle(chocolate), pecan-praline, cream cheese, lemon, strawberry and other fruit flavors. Their packaging is great, making it easy to transport king cakes around town as you party hop. (It even made it all the way in my duffel bag through baggage claim without any damage to the cake). Pricing for traditional king cakes are as follows for in-store pickup: small $15.99, medium $20.99, large $27.99, super $37.99. Shipping is also available worldwide and you can check out their website for more info http://www.kingcakes.com/ Whether it's traditional or fruit-filled, Randazzo's king cakes are the shining stars of every celebration. Service at the bakery is always friendly with a smile (in person and over the phone), even at 6am in the morning when I stopped by to get my New Year's king cake this year. Surprise your family and friends with the most incredibly delicious and BEST KING CAKE from Randazzo's! read more

No question, hands down the best king cake in Slidell. C'est si bon! I have never been one to say something tastes so good you'll want to slap yo momma, but if you are eating a Randazzo's king cake and your mom is around, you may want to warn her before you take that first bite. You can get your king cake filled with all sorts of yumminess. If you're a fan of apple pie (and who isn't?!) the apple filled is an excellent choice. There's something for everyone in terms of filling...strawberry, cherry, blueberry, raspberry, lemon, pineapple, and cream cheese. If you are having a hard time choosing favorites to fill your king cake with then pick two! Or three! Or none... Because although it sounds like it may be a bit boring, a plain king cake from Randazzo's is a show-stopping scene stealer and my absolute favorite. It's soft and flaky cinnamon heaven. Slap yo momma soft flaky cinnamon heaven. read more

I could not ask for a better experience and it seems Camelia City consistently hits a home run. I ordered personal size king cakes as a part of my gift for my parade krewe's party. Luckily for me, I was able to order sprinkle colors of my choice and pay all over the phone. And the receipt was sent via email. There was a little snafu on pick up day. I asked for a later time but was "encouraged" by the person who took the order to pick it up earlier--- as early as 6am. I arrived at 9a and it was not ready and I was told to come back in a few hours.,After explaining what I was told and provided the name of the person I spoke with, I was pleased to learn the order would be ready in 20 mins.... There was a sitting area and free coffee offered so it made waiting a piece of cake. Loved the finished product. It was the perfect size and absolutely delicious. read more

I grew up eating King Cakes during Mardi Gras in Louisiana, so when I moved to Texas, I immediately began to appreciate just how good those amazing purple, green, and gold cinnamon cakes were after having so many disappointing King Cakes from Texas. That's when I realized that if I wanted a taste of home, I'd have to order King Cakes to be delivered from Louisiana and the best and only place that's worth getting the King Cakes shipped is from Randazzo's Camellia City Bakery. When it comes to the packaging, Randazzo's has it down to perfection. The cakes are shipped with 2 day delivery and the box that they come in allows the cakes to come in one piece, not melted or sloppy from being moved all around. I always order a Cream Cheese filled cake and a Plain cake. The Plain cake was the favorite from everyone in my family that had a slice. One of the reasons is because the cake is so good to where it doesn't need the filling to take away from the flavor. Another reason the Plain cake is better is because this cake has sugar crystals instead of just icing. All in all, this is the best King Cake out there and I wouldn't recommend any other bakery to place orders from! read more

For the best king cakes on the planet you have got to go to Randazzo's Camellia City in Slidell, Louisiana. I buy king cakes from the time they open for the season until they close at the end of their season. What can I say, at the end of the day these cakes(king cakes) are absolutely the best!!!!You have a number of different flavors to choose from, if you can't decide just do like I do, try as many combinations until the season end and when the next season begin take up where you left off....ENJOY!!! read more

I'm not sure this is a complete review - but, for the casual out-of-towner (in this case, me) - sometimes we hear (and read) rave reviews about a place and may arrive with unrealistic expectations. I arrived on my way out of New Orleans and made a special trip. I was unaware of how popular this place is, because when I got there, it was either the very last "mini" or a gigantic king cake - one of two left. I grew up in Slidell. I used to make King Cakes at the old Tastee Donut shop on Gause, and later at the Pontchartrain Blvd location where Southside Cafe now is. Those King Cakes were really just giant donuts, so I don't consider myself an expert. That said, I know what I like. I do NOT like paying over $6 for a piece of King Cake. It was about the size of a Cinnamon Roll - with Mardi Gras colored sugar sprinkled on top of a healthy (well, really unhealthy, it's mostly fat) portion of white frosting. Now, it was a fine baked product, but a fair price would have been 3 bucks. There is no way anyone should spend more than 4 bucks in a healthy economy on something like this - but I did, expecting to be blown away. It was really just okay, nothing special. There was no special filling, so maybe that had something to do with it only being adequate. I would give them another chance - but I would not get a regular mini-king cake again. read more

Got a medium size Traditional King Cake that was excellent and stayed fresh for several days. Did not preorder but arrived when the opened at 6:30 am. I would definitely go back. read more

It is Mardi Gras season now and what better place to get those delicious king cakes than at Randazzo's. This is the best place to get a king cake in the city. Try the Turtle King Cake (let's just say it has chocolate and chocolate fudge and pecans on top. Overkill? Yes!). It is ridiculously good!!! Other choices include the traditional king cake (glaze & sugar) or you can opt for ones filled with strawberry, cream cheese, blueberry, raspberry, lemon, and the like. The dough is so soft because they hand roll every single king cake they make...no automation here! Like all of the bakeries that specialize in king cakes, shipping is available world-wide. So order one and experience what the locals here crave for this time of the year. read more

People in the Camellia City go crazy for these king cakes. The other day, my cousin went down to the bakery to place an order and I went with her. They were all sold out by the time we got there. I mentioned to one of the employees that I had never tasted one of their king cakes. She disappeared into the back and returned a few moments later with a bite-sized sample of the pecan praline filled version. It was moist and richly flavored without being sickly sweet. I finally understood all the fuss. I grew up eating king cakes from a different bakery and to this day I remain loyal to that brand. However, I have a newfound respect for Randazzo's. The employees were friendly, customer service was first rate and their king cake was delicious. Any bakery that opens their doors at 6:00am and sells out by 6:30am is definitely doing something right. (That can happen in the days leading up to Fat Tuesday.) For many people there's no better place than Randazzo's to satisfy a craving for king cake. read more

Last year, I would always get my traditional king cake lightly iced. This is something they would only offer if I got there early. I just tried to get one lightly iced and I was told they only do extra icing or no icing. Completely ridiculous! They're disgusting with too much icing. I'll have to find a place that can do a simple accommodation. read more

First time purchase for King Cakes from this bakery. We were driving back to Texas from Florida through Louisiana on the day before Fat Tuesday. I quickly checked on Yelp to see where I could buy a king cake and found great reviews for Randazzos. The place was busy and almost sold out. They only had regular & cream cheese flavored left, so we bought 3 cream cheese- 2 to give away and one to eat ourselves. Everyone that got one, loved them. We found ours to be fresh, moist and beautifully decorated. The flavor of the cream cheese was wonderful and we very much enjoyed our purchase. read more

So for the past few years they have given us bad customer service, but the cakes are delicious so we continued to order. Then this year they had TERRIBLE service!! The lady on the phone kept cutting my mom off on the phone and being rude. They completely changed our order without letting us know, and it is unacceptable. My entire family has ordered from here for 15+ years (since hurricane Katrina) and this is the last time we will probably ever order from here. When we went to pick up our (incorrect) order, every single person in front of us had their order wrong. I can't believe the horrible people that are running this place. read more

Learned about Randazzo's shortly after moving to Slidell in February of 2020. This is the second Mardi Gras season we have lived here and if I have to choose a King Cake, I'm coming here. Their cakes are outstanding and always hit the spot. If there is one downside, it is that after a certain point in the season you can no longer order online. Also, if you are walking in be prepared for them to not have exactly what you are looking for. They are extremely busy and this needs to be understood. You cannot expect to walk in and get exactly what you want in the middle of the day. Plan ahead. read more

Slap me with a sugar cane and call me crazy! Hot damn Gina, break me off a slice of that King Cake..... Didn't know what all the hype about King Cakes was..........until now... until that buttery, creamy king cake goodness fell into my mouth..... I got the cream cheese cake....I can't explain it kinda thing.... let's just say I had the thing polished off within 24 hours and battling with myself on whether or not to place another order... no lie Everyone in Louisiana was like, "you gotta try the King Cake" ..... so what did I do? I eventually had one shipped to the home front back in California.... The shipping was overnight with UPS, opened the box and inside was a nicely packaged King Cake and Mardi Gras memorabilia of a mask and beads, some local newspaper from where Randazzos is located in Slidell. This cake truly is like nothing I have ever had. Truly legit, straight from the Louisiana spigot of authentic King Cakes. Ohhhh that frosting..... thanks Randazzo's for the delicious sugar rush and I got the plastic King baby, so call me blessed and peachy... looks like I'll be the host for King Cake next year. Laissez les bons temps rouler! read more

This Bakery has disappointed my family and I! We've ordered with this bakery for 15+ years. In the last 3 years or so, customer service has been horrible. One year, we ordered the largest size cake they offer. Instead, we were given two smalls, both of which were the wrong flavor. Someone had sold our king cake, which we had placed a reservation on weeks in advanced, and expected us to deal with it. We then were charged the price of the large cake, with the filling, as opposed to the two small traditionals. We were able to get it fixed, though we had to discuss it for 20+ minutes. disappointing! This year, we tried to place an order. First we were told we cannot order anything in advanced except for traditional and creamcheese. My grandpa asked when this had changed, only to be rudely interrupted and asked when i'd stop talking. He then was hung up. My mother recalled to place an order. She finished through with the order only to be told she has to pay now. She asked when this was changed and was snapped at rudely. She then was placed on the phone with a supervisor, who made petty excuses when my mother attempted to explain the situation. Days later, my grandfather recalled and placed an order for two king cakes. This time, we were able order a strawberry cheesecake flavor. When he arrived today, they gave him a traditional and a creamcheese. He had received no prior indication that this would be changed on him. A cop was in stores today, to prevent any possible fights because so many orders have been wrong. I will not being returning to this place! read more

Best king cakes I have found. We ship them to our son ,Out of town to his job, friends and family in other States. We will ship them all over. You have to try them you will not be disappointed, trust me, I have tried some that my money was wasted. read more

Ordered a king cake online. Everything went very smoothly on pickup. We feel this is the best king cake out there.

I always end up gettin about 2 cakes a year. We love them so much. My family's favorite is the pecan.

King cakes are a yearly tradition for my Southern family members and Randazzo's is a delicious means to maintain that tradition. The cakes are not only fresh, but fully customizable. The icing is not only extremely rich, the dough soft and sweet, but you can also request to fill the cakes with several heart clogging options. Randazzo's probably offers the best King cakes in the area. It often causes us to fight over the last few pieces, which I can proudly take claim to this year. Pecan-Praline is a mouthwatering filling, but apple and cream cheese is a close second. My only dislike is the somewhat poor presentation. Sure they try to be creative for Holidays and Mardi Gras, but it just doesn't cut it. ......at least what they lack in style, they make up in flavor! read more

Very fresh King cake with a great taste. Two problems, overly iced and poorly decorated but you get a very nice sized cake for the price. If your in the north shore area probably the best, but certainly not worth the ride from the south shore. read more

It was on a Friday about 4PM in January and we were on our way to New Orleans and called to find out if they had any King Cakes left. We were told they had 14 left on the shelf and arrived at the place within 30-40 minutes tops. They were already sold out. I thought boy these cakes must be good. But they did tell us they just delivered some cakes to Walgreens just up the road. Imagine that Walgreens. Away we went because we were on a mission to have a Kind Cake that weekend. We did indeed get an original cream filled. Later that night we cut into it and it was divine! Very moist and great flavor. It wasn't too sweet either just right. They have a taste for everyone with all kinds of different flavors and fillings. Your sure to find a favorite! read more

Randazzo's Camellia City Bakery - Original Cream filled King Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

I have been buying king cakes from randazzo bakery for many years before Katrina, roughly 30 yrs. I never had a problem until about 4 years ago. I ordered a king cake for my grand daughters birthdays since they were born, both birthdays are during the mardi gras season. It seems the last few years my orders get messed up and for a kids birthday party this screw up is unacceptable. This year, one in particular staff member on the phone was very rude and very sarcastic to the point I swore I would never order another cake from your bakery. I come from Pass Christian Ms. and usually didn't mind the long drive. All that has changed. First of all you need a decent facility to handle the load, it's an awful little shop that looks like your just starting out in business. No personality and POOR SERVICE, and you have the nerve to demand payment in advance and still screw up my order. I am speaking English, plain and simple. It's like you do not want to tell me that you do not want to fill my order, or can't, and dont want to tell me and adjust my order to suit your work load. Final thought is your business sucks and I will pass the word. read more
