Where to find Dong Phuong king cakes on MS Coast and beyond during 2024 Mardi Gras
Mardi Gras season is quickly approaching, and with it comes the region’s favorite dessert — king cake.
Regionally, Dong Phuong’s king cake in New Orleans East, a James Beard award-winning pastry, is one of the most popular in the city and beyond.
Dong Phuong’s king cake is soft bread filled with layers of cinnamon and topped with their signature buttercream icing and has become a familiar taste throughout Louisiana.
Finding a Dong Phuong king cake can feel like you’re playing a strenuous game of Where’s Waldo: you’re seeing every other brand of king cakes, but failing to spot the one you want to find most.
Luckily, Dong Phuong Bakery posted their official list of 2024 resellers on Facebook. Their king cakes went on sale on Jan. 3, three days before Twelfth Night.
Last year, there was only one location on the Mississippi Coast to grab one of the beloved cakes. This year, that number has doubled. Here is where you can find their beloved king cakes in Louisiana and on the Mississippi Coast.
