Feeling lucky? You can now win tickets to see Sugartone Brass Band and Jambalaya Brass Band on Fat Tuesday (2/16) in our raffle. Also available: food baskets, gift certificates to local Cajun eateries, original art and authentic King Cake.
Q: What is a King Cake?
A: It's a traditional Mardi Gras pastry that's sort of a fried danish, shaped like a giant doughnut and topped with purple, green and yellow frosting, which tends to pool in the center of the cake ring, where the frosting colors get mixed together and turn a complementary-colors swamp color. If you really have no shame, you can get it filled with cream cheese or jelly.
King cakes usually have a little plastic baby stuck inside. With the number of drinks usually downed while eating King Cake, this seems like a terrible choking hazard, but there you go. Whoever gets the baby in their slice gets good luck. SO, if you win the King Cake in a raffle AND get the baby in your slice, you will be double lucky all year!
