Each cake is baked with a tiny baby inside. In New Orleans, the tradition is that whoever gets the slice with the baby has to host the next party. "<br /><br />The cake is always covered with piles of purple, green, and gold sugar crystals, in true gaudy NOLA fashion!<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-13968803037438560682015-02-17T09:54:16.355-05:002015-02-17T09:54:16.355-05:00Happy Belated Birthday, Brona!

Check around with your local bakeries - no matter where you live, some offer King Cakes this time of year - a lot easier than making them!<br /><br />Relish sounds intriguing - I will have to look for that one. Yes, February is awfully short, isn't it? Then again, with this weather, we might just go crazy if it were any longer!<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-6418714466185191162015-02-16T17:26:26.399-05:002015-02-16T17:26:26.399-05:00Yes, I loved it - best graphic novel/memoir I'...Yes, I loved it - best graphic novel/memoir I've read so far!<br /><br />Hope you enjoy I Was Here - it's good on audio so far.<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-81565090978549075452015-02-16T15:01:00.734-05:002015-02-16T15:01:00.734-05:00Last year, I was on the hook for making the king c...Last year, I was on the hook for making the king cake for our neighborhood Mardi Gras party. Luckily, I made sure my kids didn't get the baby again so I can just attend this year instead of baking too! :-)<br /><br />I picked up a graphic novel at the library and thought of you. It's called Relish and it's a food-related novel. I figured I'd join in a Foodie February challenge that I saw, but not sure I'm going to get to it in time!<br /><br />Have a great week!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00339046013754121975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-5142376852625075342015-02-16T11:22:16.675-05:002015-02-16T11:22:16.675-05:00Fun Home is SO good.
