January through March is Mardi Gras season for Mississippi Queen Foods! This means, it is time to get your beads, and your masks, and doubloons, and of course, your Mardi Gras King Cake, because no Mardi Gras party is complete without an authentic, ‘New Orleans style’ King Cake.

What is ‘King Cake’? King Cake, or Twelfth Night Cake, the celebrated symbol of carnival season in New Orleans, is a Danish dough, or coffee cake that is braided and baked with a cinnamon sugar topping, and then finished with fondant icing (contains almond extract) adorned with decorative sugars, representing the official Mardi Gras colours of purple (for justice), green (for faith), and gold (for power).

In traditional New Orleans fashion, a plastic baby is baked inside each cake, for some lucky person to find. What does it mean when you find the baby? Well, if you are ‘Down South’, it means you get to host the next Mardi Gras party. Many people, here in Canada, also choose their ‘king’ or ‘queen’ of the party this way. Doesn’t this sound like a lot of fun, already? (Yes, I sell beaded crowns, too).

Wondering where you might find such a cake for your party? Well, it is much easier than booking a flight into New Orleans, and of course, much more affordable. Let the Mississippi Queen bring a lil’ bit of Nawlins to ya’, and make you, into the Host, or Hostess, with the Mostess!

I know many of you anxiously await the arrival of Mardi Gras season, so you can get your hands on one of my authentic King Cakes. The only way you can find a more authentic Mardi Gras King Cake, is by booking a flight into Nawlins’, on Fat Tuesday, and eating a king cake, while standing on Canal Street, as you watch the Krewe of Rex, or Zulu, roll on by!

Order one of my King Cakes, and your guests will be impressed that you have not forgotten a thing! They may even wonder when you found the time to fly into New Orleans for a King Cake…wink…wink.
