Boudin king cake is now a thing.

Robert Carriker, the man behind boudinlink.com and kingcaker.com, has merged both websites' specialties into one delicious product, a boudin-filled king cake topped with Steen's cane syrup and cracklin crumbs.

Carriker, who teaches history at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, has been developing the king cake for a few months and began selling the cakes just last week. He uses Billy's and Johnson's boudin in his king cakes.

"People love it," he says. "It's a novelty, but it is also really good."

Prices start at $35 for the king cake, which can be ordered by emailing cake@boudinlink.com.
