Cannata’s King Cakes- “A party without cake is just a meeting”–Julia Child.Generations of Love in Every Bite. “80 years to bake it, 8 seconds to devour it”.  

Cannata’s King Cake is honored to be voted #1 in NOLA at the King Cake Festival.  

With roots in New Orleans dating back to 1939, Cannata’s Bakery is committed to time-honored scratch baking—one of the many revered traditions that make it truly exceptional.  New Orleans born of Italian Immigrants Fannie and Vincent began a love affair with Food and Carnival that’s endured for 8 decades, an intense dedication to excellence that would separate them from the pack and stand the test of time.

Each king cake is mixed in-house rolled out and filled with care by our craftsmen. Carried on by the Cannata family for generations each Cake is a labor of beauty and love, every unique flavor dreamed up with every detail of production and packaging painstakingly watched over by a team of dedicated artisans led by our founders’ daughter – Joni.  “We take our mission seriously – when you get a Cannata’s King Cake -we are more than LOUISIANA, we are more than Mardi Gras – we are Everything Good about Family, Celebrations and The Carnival Season. Every cake will be a treat for the eyes and the taste buds”.
