TIME SAVING TIPS
KING CAKES
About ten years ago, the Three Brothers
Bakery team went to a bakery convention in
New Orleans during Mardi Gras season and
went on a bus tour of about nine different
area bakeries. They came home with about
nine different king cakes and let everyone
try them and decide what they liked best
about each one. Then the team reformulated
the bakery's king cake into what it is today.
All Three Brothers Bakery king cakes are
decorated with Mardi Gras beads and other
seasonal decorations and there is, of course,
a baby for someone to find who traditionally
will have to bring the next king cake.
Three Brothers Bakery is getting ready for
Mardi Gras season 2024, ending on Fat Tuesday,
Feb. 13. All of the Houston bakery's
locations will have king cakes, cupcakes,
dipped decorated cookies, petit fours and
more available for purchase in-store or
online for pickup.
The bakery's king cake options are:
* King Cake Plain (no filling) - $20/each
* King Cake with Cheese Only Filling -
$30/each
King Cake with choice of the following
for $30/each:
* Cheese
* Strawberry/Cheese
* Raspberry/Cheese
* Pecan Praline
Three Brothers Bakery was named 2020,
2021, 2022 and 2023 Best of the Best Bakery
by Houston Chronicle readers and its
pecan pie was named " the Best Mail Order
Pecan Pie America has to offer " by Country
Living magazine multiple times along with
many other accolades. In 2018, Three Brothers
Bakery received the SBA Phoenix Award
for Small Business Disaster Recovery and
advocates to help small businesses recover
after disasters.
