The King's Cake

Lately, I have been on a quest to make a king cake.  I found what I thought was an easy recipe, and took to making it.  While the recipe WAS easy...the king cake wasnt that great.

So I reached out to one of my friends and asked her if she could send me her recipe - as I thought that I remembered that she had made one last year.

It was to much surprise when this showed up on our doorstep today:

The gift message reads:

"Happy Mardi Gras!  This is much better than the one we made from scratch.  Enjoy! -The Kings"

It came with decorations and all sorts of Mardi Gras history and pictures.

Makes me alittle homesick!!  But not too sick to eat a piece (or three) of this cake!!!

Thank you, Kings!!!  That was such a thoughtful and unexpected surprise!!!
