[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 610523, member: 26505"] Marilynne nailed it. In Louisiana, it is a traditional cake served during the Mardi Gras season before lent begins. This tradition was brought to New Orleans from France, so they say. I am not well versed on the religious history behind the Mardi Gras. American king cake used to be kind of a dry bread. Now it tends to be a giant, ring-shaped cinnamon roll sometimes with a filled center. It is covered with sugar glaze and colored sugar. They have gotten smart and started marketing king cakes for other occasions because any day is a good excuse to eat a big hunk of sugar covered cinnamon roll. :unconscious: We splurge each year and get one shipped to us from Randazzo's in New Orleans. My hubby went to school with the owner. [/QUOTE]
