Carnival season is here, and we're taking orders for king cakes! This year, you can feast on three of our classic cakes, plus three exclusive, limited-edition collaborations with Emeril Lagasse, Frank Brigtsen, and the Krewe of Muses. You can also buy these cakes with great coffee from French Truck Coffee! (Click here for info.)

Classic flavors

Louisiana Satsuma & Almond: Our premiere classic king cake combines the tart, tangy taste of homegrown satsumas with sumptuous almond paste. The brioche-style dough is braided, glazed with even more satsuma, and dusted with purple, green, and gold edible glitter. Give it as a gift or enjoy it yourself!

Gluten-Free Cinnamon: Love the taste of a classic New Orleans king cake but want to forgo the gluten? This is the Carnival treat for you! Soft and pillowy inside, with a not-too-sweet cinnamon ribbon and crust, vanilla glaze, and shimmery edible glitter, this is a cake for everyone to enjoy!

Dubai Chocolate: We'd planned to run this brand-new cake for a limited time, but after tasting it, we think it'll be in demand all season long! If you've never had a Dubai chocolate bar, expect a rich blend of pistachios, chocolate, and vanilla, mixed with heavy cream and kataifi (shredded phyllo), baked in our brioche-style dough! 

Limited edition flavors

LIMITED-EDITION: Chef Emeril Lagasse's Banana Cream Pie King Cake (available Jan 6-18): NOCCA faculty and students have performed Carnival magic by transforming Chef Emeril's beloved banana cream pie into a magnificent king cake! Enjoy real bananas wrapped in a luscious vanilla cream, baked inside NOCCA's soft, lightly sweet, brioche-style dough. Available for two weeks only!

LIMITED-EDITION: Chef Frank Brigtsen's Strawberry Tres Leches King Cake (available Jan 19 - Feb 1): No one loves strawberries more than NOCCA's first-ever Chef-in-Residence, Chef Frank. In this one-of-a-kind king cake, he celebrates the season with fresh strawberries wrapped in tres leches custard and fresh strawberry jam inside our dough. Available for two weeks only!

LIMITED-EDITION: The Goddess, celebrating the Krewe of Muses! (available Jan 30 - Feb 12 only): Painters and fashion designers may have their muses, but in New Orleans, we have a whole krewe of them, and they've asked us to create a cake to celebrate Muses' 25th anniversary! "The Goddess" features figs and creamy goat cheese, paired with candied orange, thyme, and toasted walnuts: the unmistakable flavors of Greece. "The Goddess" doesn't compete within the realm of king cakes -- she outranks them all! This divinely inspired delicacy is only available to mortals through Muses tHERsday.

LIMITED-EDITION: Feta Apple Pie (available Feb 13 - 16): NOCCA students and faculty have dreamed up a new king cake to round out the 2026 season -- and if you love the combination of sweet and salty, this one's for you! This luscious cake features spiced apples and sweet cream cheese paired with a bit of salty feta and a smoky hint of sage. Only available the final weekend of Carnival!

Note: Each cake comes with a special bean for you to hide in the cake. Like plastic king cake babies, the bean isn't for eating.

dog's ball
Theme: Football, Size: Large
Was too big and very heavy. Smaller would be good for my very large full male german shepherd. But he loves it. Too heave for smaller dog.

Durable
Theme: Football, Size: Large
I have a German Shepherd and a pit mix and they played tug-of-war with this. I’ve had it for about six months and it’s still holding up.

Not for heavy chewers!
Theme: Animals, Size: Medium
Didn't hold up well - but realized I didn't read that it was for "light chewers." Otherwise, cute design.

Soccer ball just for dogs
Size: 6 Inch Diameter, Color: Ocean Blue
I could say "soccer", and our shoodle would wag her tail ready to play soccer with a tennis ball so I tried out this real soccer ball with her. Mostly, she just wants to wait for me to kick it, playing defense, so she can chase it like the tennis ball. After that she wants to usually bite it or roll over on top of it as a way to secure the ball, but sometimes she will have fun pushing it around with her nose or paws. She still prefers the frisbee for play time outside since the frisbee is good for catching and for playing tug-o-war, but this is a good alternative that always gets her wagging with excitement. I wanted to get a regular 6" soccer ball for our shoodle, but this was a good choice for dogs for the durability and safety of the rubber material. The hexagons give the dog some grip to pick it up. The rubber is soft enough to grip and expel air when they do figure out how to grip it. The ball is designed to suck back in air when the dog releases the ball. - Durable rubber material ideal for dogs - Dog can squeeze out air to grip it - Ball fills back up with air after air is squeezed out - Can make more noise than a leather soccer ball - Noise is still tolerable when used indoors

Good for aggressive cheers. Reinflates everytime even when punctured
Size: 6 Inch Diameter, Color: Apple Green
I have an aggressive cheer that will tear apart anything. I bought this a few months ago and it is covered in puncture holes but it reinflates everytime. Best dog toy ever she loves it. I would buy a dozen of these. The medium size is perfect for my mini bull terrier. Big enough to not get completely in her mouth but small enough that she can still grip it to carry it around
