I'm pretty positive that Fresh Market does not make their king cakes in house, as I was once told that their other cakes were delivered frozen. I went to Monroe, LA a few weeks ago and my friend George (a Monroe native) took me to this new place in town called Vieux Carre Gourmet...I was very pleased with their selection of cheeses and wine as well as their meat (also they promised to have ANY fish shipped in overnight). Getting to the point they had an absolutely delicious house king cake. I spoke with the chef, as they serve lunch and dinner (a damn good one at that), and he was showing me around the shop, they had an amazing selection of mushrooms, vinegars, etc. Anyway, if you ever make it up to Monroe you should check this place out, everyone is friendly and they were very happy to help someone who knows a little about food.

-I'm sure Broad Street isn't the only option, but it's the only Jackson cake I tried this year. Also, nothing like colored sugar 10 months from now and there's nothing left to send as samples. Better luck next year, or just get your own.

-I never even heard of Campbells till now, but I'm glad I steered clear of their king cake. Do you know if the Fresh Market cake was made in house? Either way, I'm with you, besides, it's more fun to get a Nola cake.

I got a King Cake from Campbells and was VERY disappointed. Dry cake. Not much worse than that. I heard from other friends, though, that the king cakes from Fresh Market were the worst they had ever had. Luckily, NOLA isn't too far away.

Broad Street can't be the only game in town - I'm sure McDade's - where you got your Christmas sugar - or some other grocery store had one (though surely not as a good a quality)

And sure you could have found other colored sugar if you'd looked a bit more. Guess what you're getting for Christmas this year!

Umm...weren't samples being sent to Atlanta?
