Here’s Where To Order a King Cake In Oklahoma

Mardi Gras is just around the corner! Instead of ordering a King Cake from outside the state, we found which bakeries in Oklahoma that would make a fresh King Cake for the celebration. Below are six Oklahoma bakeries for you to get a fresh baked King Cake.

If you're not familiar, a King Cake is traditionally consumed between early January and Ash Wednesday. It's a must have in New Orleans this time of year, and some Oklahoma bakeries are offering the taste of this tradition.

This year Mardi Gras will fall on Tuesday, March 4.

What is a King Cake?

According to NewOrleans.com, the King Cake comes from the Biblical story of the three kings that brought gifts to baby Jesus. The cake itself is a yummy blend of coffee cake and cinnamon roll.

King cake is usually iced in yellow, green and purple - the colors of Mardi Gras - and is frequently packed with fruit fillings and decadent cream cheeses. Hidden within these season sweets also lie a special surprise: a plastic king cake baby to continue the fun.

And if you're the lucky King Cake eater that gets the baby in your slice of cake, you're granted luck and prosperity. Also, you're in charge of getting the King Cake for next year or throwing a big party!

So where can you get a King Cake in Oklahoma?

There's several bakeries in New Orleans that will ship King Cakes, or there are many recipes online. But if you want a King Cake baked fresh locally or you're not much of a baker, there are some Oklahoma bakeries that sell King Cakes!
