Mardi Gras King Cake

and 

How to Color Sugar

This was my first attempt at making a King Cake.
King Cake has been on my Culinary "To Make"
list for as long as I can remember.
For someone who lives in Northern WI,
King Cake has always been a mysterious sounding cake to me.
When I think of King Cake,
I immediately think of Mardi Gras and
Mardi Gras has always been a mystery to me too..

I learned more about Mardi Gras and King Cake
the first time my hubby and I vacationed in Louisiana,
We stayed in Slidell Louisiana which is located in St.Tammany Parish.
The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway is located in
Slidell and takes you across Lake Pontchartrain into New Orleans.
