Even though the Saints aren’t in the Super Bowl it is fair to say Louisiana has some Tigers and Rams in this year’s fight. In honor of quarterback Joe Burrow, a Cincinnati bakery has added a Bayou State staple to their menu with a slight twist. Dan Busken of Busken Bakery described their take on a traditional New Orleans King Cake.
“This one has black and orange sugar, and black and orange beds. Instead of the traditional baby, this one comes with a baby Joe Burrow,” said Busken.
Busken a third-generation baker in Ohio has also been educating Bengal fans about what it means if your slice of the cake contains a Baby Joey. Their version is called a ‘King of the Jungle Cake’ and it’s proved lucky so far.
“For the last couple of weeks, we just kept telling them they’d have to buy one for the Super Bowl, and we’re very grateful that came to be true,” said Busken.
Busken Bakery is even shipping their King Cake if you want to go all stripes for your Super Bowl party. As for what Burrow thinks of his influence on the Cincinnati twist on the beloved pastry…
“We dropped a few off at the front office in downtown Cincinnati and we’re hoping he sees one or at least gets one,” said Busken.
