It was a lot of fun! <BR/><BR/>NSH asked where to find the king cake babies. In the New Orleans area, we have Mardi Gras supply stores all over the place. I bought mine from one of them. You can do a search on the internet for "Mardi Gras supplies" and you will find a bunch of online stores. They are real cheap; like a bag of 50 costs just a couple of bucks. Be sure to get the natural or pink colored ones. You don't want the purple, green or gold ones inside of a cake.<BR/><BR/>I hope you all get a chance to try it out. Well, I need to run off now. Actually, trying to make some parade-watching plans for the weekend. My normal parade-watching buddy (Sharon) is deserting me this year. She planned her cake class this weekend before she realized it was Mardi Gras weekend. <BR/><BR/>Happy Mardi Gras to everyone!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643045063811587217.post-61539497314423942862009-02-19T10:51:00.000-08:002009-02-19T10:51:00.000-08:00I actually think I might try to make this.... :) T...I actually think I might try to make this.... :) That's pretty brave for me, since I usually bake from a mix.Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108867545803896885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643045063811587217.post-78009906986949450362009-02-18T12:08:00.000-08:002009-02-18T12:08:00.000-08:00OMG you are s right!I would scramble to get the tr...OMG you are s right!<BR/><BR/>I would scramble to get the trinkets before the cops could yell at you all for lifting me over. And Mom was a fierce momma bear. We got there first; you better not come stand in front of her kids! And if a doubloon hots the gorund, step on itwith your foot, then go to pick it up. If you lean over to pick it up with your hands, you will get it stomped by someone else's foot! LOL<BR/><BR/>I also remember mom sorting the bead by dozens and clasping them with little strips of paper grocery bags and staples, and then selling them back the school or other parade people to ake the crawfish money.<BR/><BR/>Good times; good memories.SugarEd Productionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554775319953968511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643045063811587217.post-37290999016232842752009-02-18T10:49:00.000-08:002009-02-18T10:49:00.000-08:00I vote for my big sister, Barb, to start her own b...I vote for my big sister, Barb, to start her own blog, too. Both my sisters seem to have gotten the baking genes in this family. I loved the post. I had totally forgotten how we used to lift Sharon over the parade barricades to go get the trinkets. She would scoop and run back before the cops had a chance to tell her not to. But you forgot to tell them how our mother taught us to catch beads: What happens if you grab a pair of beads and someone else grabs them at the same time? What do you do? You yank them and break them. Never surrender the beads. Mother used to pick up the broken ones, take them home and melt them back together. Then after Mardi Gras, she would sell all the beads and use that money to buy crawfish on Good Friday. And Gawd help anyone who came and tried to stand in front of us at the parades! Melba was a Mardi Gras animal!<BR/>I can attest that Barb's king cakes have gotten much better over the years. I can no longer tease her about the King Rock. Barb, you are no fun anymore!Janice Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326316500631357624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643045063811587217.post-79588417715253347002009-02-18T07:31:00.000-08:002009-02-18T07:31:00.000-08:00That's so cool...i wanna make a king cake now!!
