Cartozzo's Bakery

Purchased in McIntosh, Al at Greers. On a trip back from Mobile area stopped at a local grocery store a whim to get wife something sweet. Upon walking in I notice King Cakes but since my wife is from Baton Rouge I think since they are shipped in from Kenner, LA she will not be happy. So I look around the store. Nothing interesting.After looking over the king cakes I pick and hope for the best. Looks wise they will be ok.Upon pulling from the box I find it individually wrapped with the baby on the side. It cuts easily and smooth. The icing on the top is a solid 5. The filling also a five. The cake itself a 4. If it was purchased at the bakery it would be a solid 5.We were very satisfied with the cake and will give it a low 5.

Mini King cakes were a hit with my northerner friends. Wedding cake flavored ones tasted incredibly delicious

I'm from Kenner/Metairie. Never heard of Cartozzos - I'd always go to Joes or Manny's - but decided to give them a shot for cake delivery now that I don't live in NOLA. I ordered the cakes and it took 3 days to ship out. They came via Fedex 2-day and when they arrived they were a mess. Icing all over the place, all over the outside of the box. They should pack the icing and sugar separate so it doesn't end up like this. I'm not super big on looks but I'm sharing it with my virgin co workers so I'd like it to be a good first experience for them, and the aesthetics of this cake were not that. More importantly the cake itself was not good at all. I asked for apple filling but the cake wasn't filled with the apple -- it was kind of smeared in to the top of the cake (which could explain the mess when it got here). And they put so much vanilla in to the cake that all you could taste was the vanilla extract. Every bite had a toxic aftertaste. I have a 2 and 4 year old and I gave them each a small piece just incase my palette was off for the day, and neither of them would take a second bite. Lastly the brioche was stale. I didn't expect same day freshness but it definitely tasted like it was a 4 or 5 day old cake when it got here. One of the cakes had the baby inside it - the other, the baby was just placed inside the box.I've shipped out 2 cakes every year since I moved away after Katrina, and this was hands down my least favorite cake.

I like to begin with I order the king cake friday January 10th. I live in georgia and the weather seems not to help. On Tuesday the 14 i received my tracking number. January 16th at 2:30 i received my king cake. The taste was disgusting and the color was off. I rather pay for overnight shipping.

I want to thank you for shipping king cakes to other areas. Mainly, my local Piggly Wiggly! I have learned since moving to FL from LA that none of the stand alone bakeries, grocery store bakeries nor mass merchandising bakeries can make a good king cake. Some don't even know what they are. I took a chance buying yours but figured my odds would be greatly improved after seeing the address where it was made and shipped from. Boy am I glad I can get a quality king cake now! I've actually had one shipped in from a known name in NOLA and paid out the wazoo for it too. I will be sure to stop in the next time I'm visiting family back home for some made fresh. I've also let everyone there know where they can get a great king cake. laissez les bons temps rouler

Possibly the worst King Cake I've ever had. I had high hopes after reading some on-line reviews (should've check Yelp first!) that were positive. But, after this cake arrived it was disheveled looking and my fingers were crossed that the taste would be there...nope! It was really salty and dry, so dry! This King Cake was inedible!!! To make things worse I emailed the company, only to be ignored. It's a shame when a company doesn't stand behind their products and flat out ignores you. So, with that said...this King Cake is not worth your time.

Grabbed a king cake on our way out of NOLA at MSY to bring back to FL. After buying it, I dropped it different three times. Ugh. I was hesitant to serve it to my friends (two days after buying it,) but to my surprise it was delicious! Furthermore even after dropping it 3x (what can I say it was 5:00 am ) it still looked great. In fact, it was the best king cake I've had to date. When I need a king cake in the future I'll be ordering from Cartozzo's. Super fresh, and the packaging is solid.

My Apple King Cake was AMAZING. I definitely cheated on my diet, but it was so well worth it!

Worst king cake I've ever had and I'm from New Orleans, it might look like king cake but doesn't taste like it very dry dough. I was craving so I gave it a try worse decision I ever made. My dad lives in Kenner so I asked him to go to this place for me since I'm in New Orleans so sorry for my dad to come all this way for crappy king cake.

Worst. King cake. Ever. As other reviewers have mentioned, the flavor was "off," the cake was dry, and there was a very weird aftertaste. It was inedible and we can't get over the strange chemical taste. My kid said, "Please leave a review so other people won't buy it. I don't want anyone else to suffer." Very disappointing.
