Tuesday is Mardi Gras. Being born during the carnival season is excellent. And I totally get to ignore Valentine's Day for a much better holiday!
We have made a tradition of King Cake for my birthday cake. And we always use Haydel's Bakery in New Orleans. Haydel's uses a cream cheese swirl in the cake and it is DIVINE. Strawberry is the go to flavor. I love king cake in the morning, warmed and with tea, coffee, or milk. :D
This year there was a special 50th anniversary Ltd. Edition King Cake available. Worth it for sure. Special beads, commemorative cup, mini poster, and a Mardi Gras Jazz CD joined the usual suspects of Chicory and Coffee, the porcelain figure (special to Haydel's!), and Arthur Hardy's Mardi Gras Guide.
February wouldn't be the same without King Cake and Mardi Gras.
