Growing up in Louisiana, King cake was always my go-to. Why would I want something as ordinary as a sheet cake when I could have a sweet, cinnamon-laced King cake covered in icing and sprinkled with glittering purple, green and gold sugar? It was a no-brainer.

The origins of King cake trace back to France and Spain, where similar cakes were associated with Epiphany (Three Kings’ Day). In Louisiana, King cake became a Mardi Gras staple, marking the season of celebration leading up to Lent.

My Absolute Favorite King Cake Spot: Lilah's
View this post on InstagramA post shared by Lilahs King Cakes (@lilahskingcakes)
Lilah's Bakery has been delighting locals and visitors since 2006 and they have earned a reputation for offering some of the best King cakes in the region.
This is one reason Lilah's is my favorite—because if you're going to have King cake for your birthday, why not go all out?
One important note: Be sure to double-check shipping addresses to guarantee timely and fresh deliveries, and if you plan to have a King cake shipped during Carnival season, you will want to order it early. Lilah's often sells out!

Will I Ever Go Back to Regular Birthday Cake?
Getting a King Cake delivered to Central Pennsylvania isn't the same as picking one up fresh from a bakery in Louisiana but so far, Lilah's and Gambino’s have come through every time, and as soon as I cut into that first slice, it’s like I’m back home.
Sure, I could order a fancy bakery cake (and I do love Pennsylvania Dutch baked goods) or try something new. But why mess with a good thing? When it’s my birthday, there will always be a King Cake on the table—no candles necessary, just beads and a plastic baby!
