Happy Twelfth Night to all who celebrate!
In South Louisiana we are culturally obligated to eat delicious King Cake beginning on Twelfth Night and all throughout the Carnival season.

King Cake is like a big cinnamon roll cake with purple, green & gold frosting and sprinkles, sometimes filled with cream cheese, raspberry, strawberry or blueberry preserves.

There is a little plastic baby in the cake and if you get the baby in your slice you have to bring the next King Cake to the party.

It is a super fun and delicious tradition.

There are links below if you want to learn more about it.
