Anybody increase their exercise during Mardi Gras so they can have some King Cake! I try to limit myself to just a piece or two a week, but I also try to exercise more so I dont feel so guilty! LOL
Anyone else have this problem or am I the only one from Louisiana!

    baby Jesus cried when the baby started being considered a choking hazard.

    I'm in Houston, but I love my King Cake. I'll be getting some in a couple of weeks when we hold our conference at work. We have some attendees from Louisiana that bring a couple of them.

    Also, Bluebell makes a King Cake Ice Cream that I drool over every year.

    I'm still upset the Saints lost but.........

    No good King Cakes here in Houston. For some reason, everyone tries to put a "Mexican Bakery" spin on the whole thing. Personally glad since I am not eating them, ha!

    However, I'd kill for a Meche's Donut right now!!

    Louisiana girl here! I have to leave enough calories almost every day for some kind of evening treat, so I did that last Monday when I bought one for the family. My coworkers at the company I used to work at would take turns buying them (real deal, babies in the cake) and literally have one every single day during the season. Glad I'm not dealing with that this year Lol! And there's an amazing donut shop where I live that makes the best king cakes, and like many places sell them in different colors year round. I had one specially designed for my husband's birthday cake last May. Dang, now I want some ;P

    Oh holy crap, THIS!!!
    Meche's king cake is food-gasm inducing!!!!!

    It will be my first logging MG, but I plan to either make it fit or just go over. I'm sure all the street-side dancing & arm-waving will count as NEAT, anyhow.
    WHO DAT! No bandwagoning happening here.

    Did someone say King Cake?! Aw man it's been years since I've had any. Smart of you to do extra workout so you can have your cake and eat it too! Laissez les bon temps rouler!
