The Mardi Gras celebration began in New
Orleans in 1837. The carnival season has grown to
become the city’s largest celebration. The carnival
season starts on Jan 6, ( Epiphany or the “Twelfth
Night” ) the day when the Magi were said to have
visited the baby Jesus and ends on Fat Tuesday (
the day before Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent).
No Mardi Gras Celebration is complete without a
King Cake. The circular cake represents the
circular path the kings took to prevent King Herod
from finding the baby Jesus.
A traditional Mardi Gras King Cake has a plastic
baby hidden in the dough. The one that finds the
baby in their slice buys the next King Cake and has
good luck for the year. Come in and taste a little
bit of New Orleans..
