When fall is in the air pumpkin spice takes over everything from lattes to cheesecake and candles to hand soap. On the Gulf Coast, as soon as pumpkin spice moves out and Mardi Gras season begins, king cake takes over.

Every year more king cake flavored and scented products pop up. You can eat, drink and smell like king cake if you know where to look. We have put together a list of some of the options available around Baldwin County. Many of these specialty items are available for a limited time.
