Cake is still king By GEOFF STOUTE [email protected] A lot has changed in the last year for Tyler Roe, baker at Bonnie’s Bouquets and Bakery in Patterson. The versatile 26-year-old, who also is a tailor, had been making Mardi Gras costumes for local krewes.

Cannata said the king cake has a bigger impact on cele- brations this year in gather- ings, because it’s “the one common bond” south Louisi- anians have with previous Mardi Gras celebrations. He said sales at the busi- The Daily Review/Geoff Stoute (Continued on Page 5) Melissa Hidalgo coats a king cake with icing at Rouses Markets in Morgan City last week.
