Mardi Gras

In Tom's glory days, he lived it up in New Orleans. One of his fondest memories was celebrating Mardi Gras. KING CAKES are a tradition- a plastic baby Jesus is baked inside the pastry. The fun is in getting the piece with baby Jesus. Sometimes people contribute to a pot of money- a certain price per slice and the winner gets to buy next year's cake. LUCAS will be fitting the bill for 2013's king cake! We thought the kids would enjoy the anticipation...and we were surprised to discover a local bakery that actually made the cakes.
