✨ That’s a wrap on Boutique Krewetacular ✨
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to every single vendor who showed up, showed out, and helped make this event such a joyful celebration of our local creative community. The talent, passion, and hustle in that room was unmatched.

If you discovered a new favorite business (or several), we’ve got you covered: direct links to all of our vendors and bakers are live on our page and website and will remain up year-round, so you can continue to shop local and support these incredible small businesses anytime.

A huge and heartfelt thank you to our incredible bakers Sugar Love Bakery - Slidell , Tournesol Cafe and Bakery , Lucy Lee's Confectionery, Barrio Bites : Mid- City and Bloom & Bite Events & Catering for donating your time, talent, and king cake artistry to help us raise over $1,000 for the Northshore Food Bank.
Also, a special shout-out to Cupcake Concept for your donation to Northshore Food Bank.

🏆 Best King Cake on the Northshore was awarded to Tournesol Café & Bakery for their French-style king cake, galette des rois. It was an absolute standout!

A huge thank you to our dance teams for keeping the energy high and the party moving all day long: international sensations Bad Moms , Lollipops Marching Group , The Geaux Geaux’s , and Bionic Babes, Dancers of Hope . A very special shout-out to the Bionic Babes, who not only brought the fun but also generously donated their time by volunteering to help run the King Cake Contest. These women are pure magic.

Special thanks to Desiree Allums for being our fabulous MC for the King Cake Contest you brought the perfect mix of charm, humor, and crowd control.

Endless gratitude to The Southern Hotel and their incredible staff. From setup to breakdown, before and after the event, these are the real rock stars behind the scenes, and we are so thankful for their continued support and excellence.

Thank you to Flo N Glo Iv Wellness Lounge owner Johnny Schmidt for keeping the mimosas flowing, and to Creative Arts of St. Tammany Children’s Theater with a special thank you to Ms. Jen, for helping us keep VIP registration running smoothly.

And finally, thank you to our attendees for buying local, for supporting our vendors, and for showing up for the Butterfly FX Initiative to Help End Hunger on the Northshore. Your support matters more than you know.

This community is something truly special.
My heart is full. 💗

💜 HEART OF KREWETACULAR SPOTLIGHT: Bionic Babes, Dancers of Hope 💜
Some groups show up to perform.
The Bionic Babes show up to make everything possible.

Serving as event volunteers at Boutique Krewetacular, the Bionic Babes are the heartbeat behind the scenes. These women step in, lift up, guide, support, and ensure the magic happens for everyone else.

This extraordinary dance team is made up of cancer survivors and caregivers, women who know what it means to fight, to heal, to stand beside one another, and to choose joy anyway. Their strength isn’t performative. It’s lived.

They don’t just dance.
They second line with purpose.
They volunteer with heart.
They lead with resilience.

✨ Event Volunteers
✨ Second Line | 9AM
✨ A tribute to courage, community, and compassion

Our community would not exist without women like these. We are honored, grateful, and endlessly inspired by the Bionic Babes — proof that together, everything is possible.

✨ BEYOND THE KREWE SPOTLIGHT ✨
Meet EmbraceablyME, led by Robin Terrebonne Lmt — a massage therapist with 30+ years of experience and one of our Beyond the Krewe community leaders at Boutique Krewetacular!

During the event, stop by the EmbraceablyME booth where Robin will be teaching simple, effective lymphatic self-massage techniques you can do on yourself.

Carnival is fun… but recovery is essential. 💜💚💛

Heavy bags, holding kids, and throwing beads all season long require a little extra care.
So, when you pass by, book a massage with her to give your body the reset it deserves.

✨ Community Spotlight: Cupcake Concept ✨

Not all heroes could bake king cake for this year’s event, and Cupcake Concept is proof that showing up for the community takes many forms.

A beloved local bakery in Covington, Cupcake Concept has long supported the Boutique Krewetacular mission to support the Northshore Food Bank

While they weren’t able to participate in the 2026 Best King Cake on the Northshore competition, they made sure their impact was still felt by donating directly to the Northshore Food Bank in the name of Boutique Krewetacular 💜💚💛✨✨

That generosity helps ensure families in our community have food on the table during Carnival season and beyond.

A heartfelt thank you to Melissa and the entire team at Cupcake Concept for believing in our mission and consistently showing up for St. Tammany in meaningful ways. 🫶

✨ Keep your eyes peeled because Cupcake Concept will be one to watch for Best King Cake on the Northshore 2027! But, you don't have to wait. Their Cupcake King Cakes are ready for you now!
