La Louisiane Bakery — Restaurant in Waggaman

Living in New Orleans, we are blessed with many delicious bakeries throughout the area. Some are known for king cake, some are famous for doberge, etc. If you are looking for the most amazing wedding cake of your life, look no further. My experience with La Louisiane was a dream. I didn't look anywhere else. Dealing with Amanda is always a delight!! My cake was exactly what I wanted....gorgeous and enormous. The venue needed a ladder to cut and serve the cake!! And the flavors and freshness can not be beat....do not get a cake without the fresh strawberries inside. It is all anyone could talk about!!! The groom's cake was perfectly executed as well (and NOW I am a huge fan of their carrot cake!!!) La Louisiane was a non-negotiable. There are very few bakeries that bake your wedding cake "day-of" and very few bakeries that offer mousseline and Swiss butter cream. Having La Louisiane bake the cake, made the wedding cake the centerpiece of the entire event. Thank you Pattie and Joel for a cake we will never forget. Thank you so much for making this wedding cake a masterpiece for our day....

ABSOLUTE WORST

Having been “born and raised” in N’awlins, and having eaten King Cakes from all the best bakeries NOLA has to offer for over six decades. Like so many treasured families, friends, traditions, and institutions, of a once magnificent city, many of the best life has to offer are longer with us.

Yet, there still exist a few bakeries/stores that proudly carry on the delicious tradition of providing scrumptious King Cakes to the satisfy crowds, crowds who are hopelessly inflicted with an annual inspired craving for these Purple, Green, and Gold delights.

HOWEVER, the “king cakes” (more like plain dry white toast) baked by “La Louisiane Bakery”, which we purchased from our local Sam’s Club, were the ABSOLUTE WORST I’ve had the misfortune to taste. They were dry, and for the most part, void of the traditional flavor one would expect from such a NOLA icon. The packaging also sucks! Once the packaging is opened it cannot be resealed. So, unless you’re ready to finish the whole cake in one sitting, you will end up with STALE plain dry...

La Louisiane did our wedding cake, and it was a wonderful experience working with them! Shannon was very responsive during the entire planning phase. She made sure she understood my vision and helped my understand what size cake I needed for the number of guests we were expecting. My husband decided he didn’t want a grooms cake, so we ordered cupcakes instead. Because of COVID, Shannon arranged a take home tasting for us, which was a box that we picked up from their office and included different cake and frosting flavors. It was a fun and easy way to choose our cake flavors. In the end, everything we chose was delicious, and our guests raved about it. The cake was also beautiful and exactly what I had envisioned. We are so pleased with La Louisiane, and we definitely look forward to ordering more delicious cakes from them again...
