The Queen of King Cakes - Sucre's King Cake Is Back!

-

Yeah, Baby!

I've heard all the raves about Sucre Bakery in New Orleans for years. And while they turn out all sorts of delicious baked goods, next to the macaroons, they may be most noted for their "King Cake."

If you don't know the story behind the "King Cake," you must "google" it. There are too many variations on the theme for me to expound here.

However, I have had at least two different varieties of King Cake from different bakeries in Louisiana. Sucre's is one-of-a-kind.

I would even dare to call it a contemporary take on King Cake. Everything from its beautiful finish (if I may use that word to describe it) to the moist texture inside puts it in a category all alone.

I especially love that it's not too sweet, extremely moist, and doesn't make a mess when I eat it. The cake I sampled had no filling and it didn't need it!

Order yours today. You might even be able to get it in time for the Saints game this weekend.

Who Dat, Say Dat, Sucre Can't Do Dat?



"World famous Sucre King Cake. Voted 2011 BEST King Cake by a Washington Post blind taste test. Sucre's signature buttery danish pastry is sweetened by cinnamon and raw cane sugar then filled with a creole cream cheese filling. Serves 8-10 people. Long live the king!"

    OMG!!! This is the best King Cake!!! The taste and texture is great. In addition, the finish is elegant, sophisticated and Louisiana Fancy. None of that multi-colored, heavy frosting normally associated with a traditional king cake. I was amazed at how wonderful it holds its taste and texture when a refrigerated cold, leftover slice is wrapped in Saran Wrap and microwaved for 10 seconds. Talk about with Morning Coffee!!! This takes the cake!

It's Not Your Mother's Eight O'Clock Coffee - Columbia Single Serve Cup

-

You may not have noticed, but Eight O'Clock Coffee (which I used to refer to as Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee) has experienced a new attitude. There's new packaging and now there is even an Eight O'Clock K-Cup(R). I enjoy and delight in experiencing artisan roasted coffee and I can ride the "third wave" as good as the next person, but sometimes I just want to remember the way things used to be. So, the Eight O'Clock K-Cup  is the perfect way to enjoy a coffee that's always had a special place in my heart - but with a new twist. All these new single-serve coffees are making me lazy. But, don't worry, I'm an equal opportunity coffee-lover. Here's to the weekend!

All Time Favorite Coffee Jingles

I have consumed a lot of coffee over the last couple of decades, but it's mainly through "trial and error," "word of mouth," or "pure luck," that I found those I've enjoyed the most. And, of course, the folks who reach out and let me know about the great coffees that are out there. But with micro roasters becoming more and more popular, and grocery store coffee being talked about less, even though many supermarket varieties are very good, I can't help but remember some of those jingles and television commercials that remain etched in my mind. Some of my favorite coffee jingles: "Good to the Last Drop" (TM) (Maxwell House) "Richness Worth A Second Cup" (TM) (Yuban) "The Best Part of Waking Up, Is Folgers In Your Cup" (TM) And, last but not least, drumroll. . . .my all-time favorite: "Fill It To the Rim With Brim" (TM) (Brim Decaffeinated Coffee) (special thanks to my sister for remin
