Matherne’s Makes Kenilworth Baton Rouge’s King Cake Headquarters

Matherne’s in Kenilworth now stands out as Baton Rouge’s go-to king cake destination. Tony Matherne says the goal was to give shoppers every style of king cake in one stop, so the store built a massive display featuring Louisiana favorites. The lineup includes Haydel’s, Joe’s Cafe, Caluda’s King Cake, Randazzo’s, Antoine’s, Marguerite’s, Kaywood, Gambino’s, and Matherne’s own cakes. Customers can pick from traditional and donut-style options or splurge on Matherne’s award-winning wedding cake king cake, packed with white chocolate, almonds, and sweet cream. All Matherne’s locations carry the signature cake, but the full roster lives at Kenilworth through Mardi Gras.
