Recommendation: "We usually stay open for extended hours during king cake season because of the demand. Our Turtle King Cake does extremely well. It's a traditional king cake, but it's topped with chocolate, drizzled with caramel, sprinkled with pecans, and sprinkled with a white gloss. And that's just the outside! You can get that filled with any filling you want!"
