I've been around Mardi Gras and king cakes my whole life here in Mobile. And saying that this recipe is "authentic or not" is like saying a Gumbo recipe is authentic or not! King Cake is like Gumbo. It will vary from one bakery to another and from one cook to another, greatly. I have used this recipe and a few others for years and this one rocks. Like some of the other reviews suggest, you can change this one around to suite you own taste and it still turns out good. Practice makes you better at any recipe, so keep at it. And Happy Mardi Gras!!!

My husband is from the NOLA area and is craving his yearly King Cakes. I made the "cake" part of this recepie and usedthe filling from another one because it seemed more authentic. The only thing I would change about ths recepie is using cake flour instead of all purpose. The "cake" will be mor authentic of a texture and not as thick of a bread.

This is the second year I've made this, and it's delicious and beautiful too. It takes some time,as yeast breads do, but it's worth the effort. The cream cheese filling is great, kind of like a cheese danish. This has become a requested Mardi Gras tradition in my neighborhood.

This is exactly what a king cake is supposed to taste like (said by one who has tasted the best. this is essentially a plain king cake with a thin layer of cream cheese filling to help maintain a moist interior. I used some lemon juice in the icing, but not as much because of what others have said. I didn't have colored sugar crystals and didn't want to make them, so I colored the icing purple, green, and gold. The king cake was still a hit!
Next time, I would double or triple the amount of cream cheese filling because I like a lot of cream cheese filling in my king cake.

In the past, I made only vanilla or almond king cakes. This recipe has a really unique flavor that everyone likes.

Now I know why they call it King Cake: It's rich enough to be served to royalty. Loved it!

The dough took WAY longer than 2 hours to double, but that was probably my fault. Otherwise, this is my first successful King cake. The cake itself was pretty good and the cream cheese filling was quite tasty. The picky fiance liked it, which in itself says something. I didn't put lemon in the frosting because people comlained about that in Emeril's other King Cake recipe.
