King Cake
completely just sabotaged my diet today... isn't it too earlier for Mardi Gras related desserts?? We get at least 5 of these sent to the office every year since we own a track in New Orleans.
For some reason, even though its essentially a cinnamon roll with semi-crappy frosting and unnatural colors, its still too hard to resist.

I always learned the King's cake to be part of the Epiphany, not Mardi Gras. But apparently it's used as both, but during the Epiphany, there are items baked in. Either way, it's too early for Mardi Gras and too late for Epiphany!
Wait....we're kinda smack dab in the middle of the two....

haah I feel ya about ruining the diet. I went to MacDonalds today ? it seemed like a good idea at the time b/c i was in a hurry, but now i feel like death.
Also a North-Easterner, have never had king cake. But I find any cake hard to resist.
I'm not sure any frosting counts as semi-crappy in my book.
Mardi Gras season starts the 12th night after Christmas (1/6 this year). So yeah, it is def. mardi gras season! Actual Mardi Gras day is 2/16.
Where do you king cakes come from, hawki? Gambino's? Those are amaaaazing.
I didn't know that! That's the day of the Epiphany, or as I learned it in school, Dia de los Tres Reyes Magos (Day of the 3 wise kings). So it essentially the same thing it seems.
ETA: What I didn't know was that Mardi Gras was a season, I always thought it was just the one day.

I didnt know Mardi Gras was really a season either... I always thought it was a week in February. Interesting...
I'm not sure where the King Cakes come from but its not Gambinos. I would recognize the name if you said it but can't come up with it since the box is gone. I want to say it starts with a K...
