One of the best King Cakes ever. They have a fresh fruit King Cake in two varieties, Banana's Foster or Triple Berry either one is a winner. The fresh cream and fruit stuffed into the halved king cake makes for a divine treat. The also feature regular and original French style King Cakes. But the fresh fruit is a must try this season. BTW the regular cakes and pastries are great here to. A wonder New Orleans bakery.

Just finished eating some french king cake that my mom lovingly brought to san francisco airport. I love the fragrant frangipane almond filling, and its great that the pastry isnt too sweet...it is a little too buttery though
Next time im in new orleans i will have to try the doberge cake -

They have a good range of pastries, pies, cakes, cookies and other sweets here. The owner and chef is from France and he is usually at this location. They are probably best known for their cakes, with their French style "galette des rois" King Cake being one of the most noted. I actually prefer the French style myself as I don't like all that colored sugar that most Louisiana style king cakes have on them. The prices seem to frequently get more expensive here but they maintain a good product. This is always a consistent place to go for your dessert needs.

Great selection of pastries, pies, cakes, etc. They make what I beleive to be the best doeberge cake in the city. The chocolate and lemon doeberge is just out of this world. I get b-day cakes, anniversary cakes, party treats, etc. from here and I will never go to any other bakery. The employees here are so nice and always very helpful even when they are slammed busy, they still take their time to help you with anything you need.
The only reason I didn't rate them a 5 out of 5 is their prices could stand to be a little lower. I paid over $60 for an 8 inch doeberge cake (half and half). But other than that I am completely satisfied with this business. -

I can't visit relatives in Mississippi without being asked to bring goodies from Maurice's bakery. It's become quite a tasty tradition!

fresh petit fours are the best here. My family has been ordering the doberge cakes from here for years. The prices keep going up and up.

My friend had a birthday party and his cake was ordered from here. OH EM GEE. The cake is a dark chocolate truffle filled with raspberry preserves and after the first bite, there was a party in my mouth!! I love sweets and this cake was the perfect chocolate cake I've had by far. I also get a very delicious carrot cake here! The carrot cakes are made to order and if your lucky enough, you might be able to get one without ordering it! They also have yummy bakeries.

I'm so glad this place is in Metairie and not in the city... or else I'd weigh more then I do already! Everytime I stop by, I want everything. Everything is sooooo delish, you can't go wrong.

I swear by the fresh fruit tarts here. It varies ever so slightly but they usually come with a little Kiwi, pineapple, strawberry, raspberry and blueberry on top. Its the way I get myself to eat fresh fruit. I think one of the full sized ones costs 3.49 after tax...which may or may not be a bit pricey..but damn its good...the fruit is always fresh..the consistency of the tart filling beneath seems to slap some sense in to my palate and gets me liking fresh fruit like I should. Once they had mini fresh fruit tarts which were a buck and a half..a yummy bite.
I have also had some cheesecake here in the past...I think that was a fruit topped version and frankly..I am wanting some. Notice a trend as I write this..Maurice's gets me eating fresh fruit!! Maybe some of you guys that are like me that dont eat enough should cheat and get yourself doing it!!..
I look at all the chocolate laced and sugared concoctions all over the place and it makes me want to expand my recently reduced waist again..It smells friggin awesome..damn I am hungry now..I vow to go chocolate decadent at Maurice's if this damn lint factor in my pocket ever clears up.
I also noticed that Maurice's in addition to its rather wide selection of conventional not so conventional baked yummies also has a decent selection of sugar free breads and cakes. I suspect that with it being a full service bakery, if they don't have something you see..you can order it.
DAMN! Writing this just made me pull a Pavlov's Dog... -

Gorgeous pastries. They made my wedding cake and it was beautiful and delicious. One of the top N.O. places for cakes! Maurice is the real deal. The king cakes are amazing, too!
