Having spent part of my childhood in Louisiana, I not only appreciate, but love and crave Cajun/Creole cuisine. It’s a mainstay at our house.
We celebrated the commencement of Mardi Gras this year just for fun…but didn’t get to until Wednesday night. After a delicious bowl of shrimp and grits, it was on to the main event: The King Cake!
It began looking like a weird, fanned out cinnamon roll….but turned out beautifully after baking! (And so festive! Mixing the icing colors was “trés fun.”)
Following tradition, I hid a plastic baby in the cake, then cut R’s piece just so….just cause we wanted to see her reaction when she found it.
YUM!
