When your cake arrives, take it out the box and put in the freezer as is (wrapped in its polybag with twist tie). That’s all you do.
On the day you are ready to serve, take your king cake out the freezer approximately 3 hours before cutting. Just leave it in the bag with the twist tie.
Three hours later, just open the bag, cut your king cake and enjoy.
If you want some fresh baked goodness, you can put a slice in the microwave for about 8 seconds. Enjoy!
If your king cake is smooshed to one side due to a delivery mishap, you can then help the presentation by putting the king cake in the freezer for 5 minutes. Take out and straighten or open up the center of the king cake. If you need to repeat this procedure to help with straightening the king cake in its original oval shape, then repeat the freezing procedure. Although your cake will not look like it did when it left our shop, this will help with its presentation. Of course the taste is every bit as good as when it left our shop. So cut and enjoy!
Our price includes the king cake, Mardi Gras cup, beads, doubloons, history of the king cake brochure and express delivery (which mostly arrives the next day, but may take 2 days. We cannot guarantee next day delivery).
No. The same dates for the web site are the same dates that are available at the shop.
Once our shipping provider picks up our king cakes, we have no control over the time they will deliver it. When you receive your tracking email from us letting you know that your package has shipped, you can use the shipping provider's website to track the delivery of your order.
All of our king cakes may contain or may have been in contact with the following items: milk, eggs, wheat, soy beans, peanuts, and tree nuts (pecans).
Our king cakes will stay fresh 2 to 3 days after receiving it. If you want to keep it longer, we suggest freezing it. See our recommendations under “How to freeze my king cake”.
Yes, however, our shipping provider will not leave it at the door if no one answers the door. Also if the apartment is in a residential community, it may be delivered to a mailroom or front desk. Once our shipping provider picks up our king cakes, we have no control over when/how they will deliver it.

Beyond the 1 to 2 day delivery date you selected, Manny Randazzo King Cakes and our shipping provider are not responsible for delays in delivery caused by weather conditions, inaccurate or incomplete shipping address information (i.e. wrong or missing apartment or suite number, wrong zip code, etc.), high package volume, mechanical errors, or transit route delays.
We do not deliver to PO or APO boxes or military bases.
Caring for your king cake
Your king cake has been prepared with the freshest ingredients and baked daily on the premises to ensure freshness. You are not getting a king cake that has been shipped from the "main bakery" or an "across the town" factory location. Your king cake has not been sitting on some shelf in some department store or gas station, waiting to be sold so the store owner doesn't lose money.
Each Manny Randazzo King Cake is prepared and baked by Manny himself. There are over 30 steps in making the best king cake, and Manny oversees it all without skipping any step out of convenience or cost. Sure, the Monday before Mardi Gras, Manny sells out early. But Manny strictly adheres to his father's perfected standards and does not let quantity be more important than Quality! His customers know this and they appreciate getting the very best.
Your king cake will stay fresh for days. If you plan to eat your king cake 3 to 5 days later, do not open your king cake bag. Leave it sealed. Set it aside in a cool corner, out of sunlight (and out of your kid's reach). Then open and enjoy.
If you plan to eat your king cake a week later, a month later, or even a year later, freeze your unopened king cake in your freezer. Take the king cake out 3 hours before you plan to eat it. Open your king cake and enjoy it. Your cake will be fresh!
If you have such discriminating taste and demand to eat a king cake like it's warm and just out of the oven, then cut your slice of king cake, place it on a napkin and put it in a microwave oven for 10 seconds. (Always be extremely careful with the icing. Depending on your microwave, the icing may be scalding hot!) After lightly touching the icing to make sure it's not too hot, eat and enjoy. The king cake dough should be warm and tender.
