New Orleans’ acclaimed Sucré bakery is now shipping its sought-after king cakes and signature macarons nationwide via Goldbelly, just in time for Mardi Gras celebrations. The bakery, which has expanded from its New Orleans roots to include locations in Georgia and Texas, offers a unique opportunity for those outside the region to experience its award-winning pastries.
What Makes Sucré’s King Cake Special?
Sucré’s king cake isn’t just another seasonal treat; it’s a decadent ring of brioche-like dough filled with whipped cream cheese and swirled with cinnamon sugar. The cake is then lavishly coated in white icing and finished with a generous sprinkling of edible purple, green, and gold glitter – a nod to the traditional Mardi Gras colors.
The bakery also includes a king cake-flavored macaron in its combo pack, alongside classic vanilla and salted caramel flavors. Sucré’s macarons are known for their delicate shells and rich fillings, rivaling those found in Europe.
Cost and Availability
The Sucré Mardi Gras Macarons + King Cake Combo is available for $119.95 through Goldbelly. Buying the combo saves $26 compared to purchasing the items separately. The bakery’s products are available for shipping nationwide, allowing customers across the country to enjoy a taste of New Orleans.
“If you’ve never had king cake before, it’s sort of like a cakey cinnamon roll made into one big, braided ring.”
Why This Matters
The availability of Sucré’s king cake outside of its physical locations is significant for several reasons. It allows consumers nationwide to engage with a regional culinary tradition, boosting tourism awareness and cultural exchange. Moreover, Sucré’s partnership with Goldbelly demonstrates how businesses are leveraging online platforms to expand their reach and cater to a wider audience. The demand for specialty food products like this has been on the rise, driven by social media trends and a growing interest in authentic, high-quality baked goods.
Sucré’s Mardi Gras combo provides a convenient way to experience New Orleans’ festive flavors without traveling. The bakery’s expansion and online availability reflect a broader trend of regional food businesses adapting to digital markets to maintain growth.
