I'm very much a seasonal eater... And no, I don't mean I like Oranges in January and Apples in the fall... I mean I love sweets associated with holidays! So I was a little disappointed when I was wasn't sure if I would be able to get my Fat Tuesday fix of a King Cake, they only have them in expensive fancy bakeries here, and I was traveling anyway... For the uninitiated, King Cake is amazing!! It's like a cinnamon roll mixed with a donut with icing and sprinkles over the whole thing! My mom was super awesome though and picked me up one, so even though it was one day late, I still got my King Cake!
And when I heard about the Mardi Gras contest
EyeingMemories is hosting, I knew I so had to take part! Here's my submission of my fabulous cake, it's no New Orleans original (my stupid brother wouldn't send me one from the crescent city even though he lives there, seriously?!) but it still tasted pretty good!
And with the taste of this cake still fresh in my mind, is it bad that now my taste buds have locked onto wanting some Cafe Du Monde beignets? I'm such a fat kid...
U know, I live in Louisiana and did NOT get any king cake this year! Seriously a faux pas! Thank u for entering!!!!!! Good luck!
