I need a 2 tier birthday cake for someone during Mardi Gras. Can anyone recommend a bakery in downtown New Orleans or French Quarter? Or somewhere resonably close by? Preferrably someone that can provide a fondant cake. Any recommendations would be appreciated, I hate to just pick somewhere in the phone book. Thanks

Hi,

I dont know off hand but to try and help, I did a search "Zagat Bakeries in New Orleans, French Quarter" and here is what came up

Contact sugarshack on this site.

we got our wedding cake from Swiss bakery a few years ago when we lived there they were in the french quarter right outside, cake was wonderful. good luck during Mardi gras stuff gets a little hectic and books way in advance \\due to all the parties

The Kupcake factory does tiered cakes, and used to have a location in the french quarter. Im not sure if they still do. I believe Sharon(sugarshack) lives outside of N.O. But Im sure she can give you some leads.  .
