King Cake Hub was started by Samuels and her late husband Will Samuels. They opened the Lakeview restaurant Pizza NOLA and the gelato parlor La Dolce NOLA, and hosted events like “Sharknado” watch parties at the restaurant. They launched King Cake Hub in 2018 to offer a wide selection of king cakes at one centralized space. Will Samuels died in September 2021.
