Mardi Gras season is here, and what better way to celebrate than with a Montgomery Bakehouse king cake? King Cakes have an intriguing history and taste delicious. Derived from the French tradition, the King Cake  is eaten on the twelfth day of Christmas, which is January 6th to celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany. The cake represents the story of the three wise men coming to see baby Jesus. The cake is decorated with icing and sugar on top. The sugars on top are green, purple, and yellow. Each color has a different meaning. The color green represents faith, purple represents justice, and yellow represents power. Each of these characteristics help remind us of the way the wise men travelled from afar to bring gifts to the newborn king. The plastic baby on top has a significant meaning as well. The baby is meant to represent baby Jesus. It is typically placed inside the cake, and whoever gets the baby is said to have to throw the Mardi Gras party next year and has to buy the king cake next year. Our king cakes come in a variety of flavors. We have cream cheese, cherry, cherry cream cheese, cinnamon butter, pecan praline, Bavarian, and chocolate Bavarian. We will be selling King Cakes until Fat Tuesday, or the day before Ash Wednesday. It is best to call to place your order for your king cake to make sure to get the flavor you want, and you can do this by calling us at 936-756-1745, or coming in to place your order. Every year after moving to Texas, our family celebrates Mardi Gras by eating a king cake to start off the season, and by eating a king cake on Fat Tuesday, the last day of the season. Even if you aren’t French or Cajun, Mardi Gras gives you the perfect excuse to eat something delicious!

We have everything you need to start your New Year off in the best way possible. Whether it be for your New Year’s Eve snacks or breakfast and dessert on New Year’s Day, we have all of your Montgomery Bakehouse favorites. Some special ones include our New Year’s pretzel, which is made of sweet dough with icing on top, and your choice of filling inside. This delicious sweet pretzel is said to bring good luck for the coming year, so what better way to celebrate the New Year than with some delicious New Year’s pretzels? We also have a delicious New Year’s log, which is a chocolate cake rolled with buttercream icing, and covered in chocolate icing. This is a tasty way to kick off the New Year. If you are looking for nice treats for a party, we have large decorated cookies that are just sugar cookies with icing on top that are decorated for the celebration of the new year’s arrival, and we have petite fours that are small vanilla cakes with a sweet icing on top that are also decorated for 2016. These are just some of our treats that are perfect for your New Year’s Eve party and for your New Year’s dinner. Also, be sure to stop by and get dinner rolls to accompany your New Year’s dinner. As a family, we always eat pork and sauerkraut for our New Year’s dinner. This tradition has been passed down through each generation. Since our family is of German heritage, this meal on New Year’s day is said to bring good luck for the New Year as well. We always have our dinner rolls with our pork and sauerkraut, and for dessert we always have our New Year’s log. Some of our New Year’s traditions are so meaningful because we always remember our grandparents and great grandparents who helped start these traditions that we still partake in today. The Schenk family and the rest of the Montgomery Bakehouse crew want to wish you and your family a Happy New Year, and we hope to help in making your New Year a very special one!
