Pretty Funky Treats makes a great king cake

Zoom in: A friend picked up a Pretty Funky king cake as dessert for a recent small dinner party I hosted.

• But the pretty, gold glittering, raspberry-topped braided crown of king cake was all anybody remembers of that meal.
• We'd managed to eat most of it that night because everyone had seconds, too.

Dig in: The cake was perfectly moist, with a gently sweet, creamy filling.

• The top even cracked slightly just like you'd expect of the inspiration behind it.

How to order: Like everything at Pretty Funky Treats, production is in small batches, so ordering ahead is best. You can do so online.

• The créme brulée king cake is $36. Lomasney also makes a traditional version. Other filled flavors include blueberry cheesecake, almond frangipane, and Biscoff cookie butter.
