New Orleans is a one-of-a-kind city that instantly envelopes you, from the vibrant atmosphere to the New Orleans food, including Mardi Gras traditional favorites like King Cake, which started as the French Galette des Rois. What is known as New Orleans-style King Cake is a yeast-risen, brightly colored cake. Yes, each color has meaning, too! Purple represents justice; green stands for faith; and gold is the symbol of power. It is tradition to place the accompanying plastic baby inside the cake. Then, the person who grabs the piece of King Cake with this within will have good luck and the task of holding the bash the following year. So don't miss out on this King Cake tradition and more ways to enjoy your own little slice of the French Quarter this Mardi Gras with Fat Tuesday favorites! You also will want to stock up on Café Du Monde Coffee and Chicory and Café Du Monde Beignet Mix. Ship Mardi Gras and King Cake gifts that are sure to help bring your celebration to life.
