Indulge in Delicious King Cake at Fleur De Lis Gourmet Bakery on the Mississippi Coast
Since I moved to the New Orleans area last October, I have been eagerly awaiting the Twelfth Night just so I could enjoy piece after piece of king cake. I’ve tasted Dong Phuong’s king cakes but there is so much more to explore! With that in mind, I wanted to make sure I draw attention to the delicious king cake you can find in Gulfport at Fleur De Lis Gourmet Bakery.
A Must-Visit Bakery near the Mississippi Coast
Fleur De Lis has a top-notch reputation among locals for the desserts and baked goods it offers, including a light and delicious strawberry and cream cheese Bavarian Cake. But it’s their fantastic king cakes that I wanted to tell you about.
The Pithivier: A Unique King Cake Experience
The king cake of choice at Fleur De Lis is the Pithivier – a traditional French pastry made with all-butter puff pastry and a variety of fillings including praline pecan cream cheese and raspberry cream cheese. It’s delicately formed, topped with a purple, green, and gold dust and a crown – just as it should be. Plus, it’s light, flaky and tastes like a jacked-up croissant!

The Pithivier at Fleur De Lis Gourmet Bakery is not only delicious but so versatile. Enjoy it at breakfast, lunch or dinner, and make sure you remember how good it was when you’re trying to keep your New Year’s resolutions in the spring.
