Sucre
You’re entitled to your opinion and I’m not knocking it but I had one from Sucre a couple weeks ago for the first time and it was dry and honestly not very good. Maybe I happened to get one that was old. I also got one from Poupart (laffy) which was much better
Loblolly (Hattiesburg) has been my sleeper this year

I bought this one yesterday. I've only had a little sliver, but I liked it just now when I tried it.
That said, we also got Caluda's earlier in the season and I bought a single slice of St. Bruno yesterday. I'd rank them: St. Bruno, Caluda's, Poupart.
Matherne's in BR carries like 8-10 different bakeries from all over the state from what I could see.

Totally agree.
I stood in line last year at our local Vietnamese restaurant and bought 3 DP cakes since we were having a birthday party that night and most of us had never tried one.
Meh was the general consensus amongst the crowd.

Nanette's chocolate cake is the best I've ever had, and I use to make wedding cakes. They serve it now at Colonel's Club. You used to have to know someone and she'd NEVER deliver. It was like a dessert drug deal, lol...

Honestly wish more people thought this. Wouldn't be such a PITA to get one. Yet here we are.
It is easily my favorite.

The amaretto walnut cream cheese from Keller's is 10x better than anything I've ever had from Dong Phuong.

The Ayu Bakehouse chocolate babka king cake is aces. People will say it’s not a King Cake but it’s a better dessert than any other king cake.

I wanna try that one from Hattiesburg. The blueberry cream cheese one that's gone viral.
Loblolly is top tier IMO. Had a traditional and it’s up there with the big names. More traditional king cake texture than DP

Dong Phoung just doesn't taste like a king cake to me. It's more of a coffee cake texture.
I agree, it’s not king cake it’s something else. It is very good, I’m not hating. It’s just not king cake to me.

Is this the same lady that makes DiGiulio's cakes too? I feel like someone just told me the other day (possibly when I was at Colonels Club) that one lady bakes for 2-3 Overpass spots.
Actually I recall my friend getting a whole cake from this lady years ago, but she had to secretly go through someone who knows her well that she wouldn't say no to.

I recently tried a plain traditional king cake from Doughlicious Donuts and was really impressed. I hadn’t been a fan of their doughnut-style version in the past, so the traditional one was a pleasant surprise.

Can’t speak for the filled ones. How was it? I’m going to try the pecan praline next time it’s on the shelf

What determines a king cake?
Good question really. With the proliferation of different styles and ingredients, it seems almost anything goes.
Boudin King Cakes
Muffaletta King Cakes
Various fruit and cream stuffed ones
Creamy icing, colorful sugar icing, sprinkles topping them
My wife came home with one last week that was made more like a damn chocolate eclair.
It had the traditional oval shape and woven dough but the dough tasted more like an eclair puff pastry dough with lots of air holes in it and had a somewhat creamy chocolate flavored filling scattered throughout.
The top was covered in a layer of the same texture chocolate that a Randazzo's eclair has on it and then it was sprinkled with the purple, green and gold cylindrical sprinkles.
It tasted damn good, but to me, it was not a King Cake.

That's her. She baked our wedding cake. It was delicious.
ETA The best king cake I've had this year was from St Bruno's. Getting a Tartine one on Friday.
