Mississippi Queen Foods Authentic, New Orleans Style, Mardi Gras King Cake

 

Happy Mardi Gras Season!  Yes, it is that time of year again, when many of you, anxiously await, the arrival of my infamous, authentic, Mardi Gras King Cake, from Mississippi Queen Foods.  The Mardi Gras King Cakes are officially rollin' out the door. 

  

This year, as promised, I have extended my offerings of the King Cakes, beyond the Greater Toronto Area, and I am now shipping them, across Canada.  Thank you, everyone, for your patience, with me, as I have grown to meet this demand. 

 

For those of you, who may not be familiar with my King Cakes, I do make my cakes in the traditional, New Orleans style, which is a braided, Danish cinnamon coffee cake, finished with a fondant icing and decorated with festive Mardi Gras purple (justice), green (faith), and gold (power) sugars.  Each of my authentic, Mardi Gras King Cakes, includes a plastic baby cooked inside; gold foil covered cake board; 2” decorative crown; doubloons; and windowed cake box.  $45.00 for each Mardi Gras King Cake.  Pick up is available, and delivery/shipping is extra.

I thank you for your time in reading through my Mardi Gras promotional offer, as I realize there is a lot of information packed into this mailing.  There is always loads of excitement, rolling into Mardi Gras season, even for those of us, including myself, who celebrate, here in Toronto each year.   

 

I am always very proud, to be involved, on some level, with so many parties, hosted here in the Greater Toronto Area, by either delivering Mardi Gras Supplies, Mardi Gras King Cakes, Southern & New Orleans Groceries, or even catered food.  I feel a special kind of joy, when I have a connection, to my culture, via people here in Canada. 

 

Mardi Gras is not just about New Orleans, even though New Orleans is THE place to celebrate during Carnival Season.  As many of you know, Mardi Gras is celebrated along the Gulf Coast region of the South, as far east as the Florida Panhandle, and as far west as Corpus Christi, Texas.   

 

Hopefully, this year, with my offerings, I have made it even easier for you to host your own Mardi Gras party.  If you follow me, on either Facebook, or Twitter, or read my blogs, and care to know more about the history and customs surrounding Mardi Gras celebrations, then please 'tune in', and connect with me, via social media networking, as I will be releasing a series of blogs, and information through these resources. 

 

Please keep in mind, I do make guest appearances, for many Mardi Gras funtions, and events, and I am able to set up a table serving Mardi Gras King Cake, or with merchandise, such as Mardi Gras Supplies, and Groceries from New Orleans, and the South.

 

Should you have any questions, or wish to place an order, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Happy Carnival Season, and as always,

Wishin' you lots of good eatin'....

Connie Rouble, the Mississippi Queen,
