Oh, my goodness! Has anyone had a king cake before? They are a traditional Mardi Gras cake that has a little "King" burried in the middle somewhere. We had one today at work and it was delicious. Ours had a cream cheese filling , but I guess they can be filled with whatever and looked more filled that this picture.I am trying to learn about Mardi Gras history because I know that it has alot more to it than showing tatas and getting beads. I will keep you updated on that stuff. Eventhough we aren't in New Orleans, Mardi Gras is still a big deal here they have like 5 big parades that apparently people camp out for, grill and have a good time at these events. I want to go to one next weekend and will let you know how that goes.. They also have a parade for pets next Sunday, so if I get ambitious, I might take Jo and Goonz (Foxy and Maddie) I call them by their nicknames more than their real names! haha
I've had King's Cake and it's delicious. We did a big Mardi Gras celebration for our floor last year and we made king's cakes and hid the baby kings in them. It was so much fun!! We made it so that the teacher that found the king instead of hosting the next mardi gras party at their house we got to send a student to them to be a helper for an hour. :)
