“The other day we sent one to Zimbabwe,” Tricia Randazzo-Zornes told me Monday, the day before our krewe of king-cake judges visited on Tuesday. She and her husband, Louis Zornes, own Randazzo’s Camellia City Bakery in Slidell.
“We send them to Puerto Rico, Brazil, Canada. And to a lot of APOs. We just love our military people,” she added.
The Camellia City Bakery, like the other five bakeries in our King Cake King contest, ships the cakes around the globe. Also like the other bakeries, it has its own innovations within the beloved king cake tradition.
Take the Turtle King Cake, which has pecans, caramel, cream cheese, chocolate and chocolate fudge on top with more pecans. (“We took all the calories out, you hear?” Randazzo-Zornes said.)
