 MARDI GRAS CHARCUTERIE BOARDBeads and bling, it’s a Mardi Gras thing! As part of our New Orleans’ Mardi Gras celebration, there’s nothing more fun than a Mardi Gras Charcuterie Board – easily customized with cheese, meats, fruits, and always some sweets and treats! Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler – “Let the good times roll  KING CAKE (Cinnamon Swirled Bundt Cake)This old-fashioned sweet cinnamon swirled bundt cake is my twist on King Cake. Cinnamon and brown sugar cake is marbled with a buttery yellow cake in this easy recipe, drizzled with cream cheese glaze in traditional purple, green and gold Mardi Gras colors, and topped with sprinkles for some special Mardi Gras fun! My family prefers this tender and moist King Cake to the more traditional bread-like King Cake. While a "traditional" King Cake is made from twisted strands of cinnamon dough, covered with icing, and sprinkled with purple, green and gold colored sugar, my King Cake is truly a richer and tender coffeecake. So flavorful, moist, and loaded with cinnamon and brown sugar flavor, it will be your new favorite too!  MARDI GRAS SUGAR COOKIESFat Tuesday wouldn't be a celebration without some fun and festive sugar cookies! These Mardi Gras Sugar Cookies with Royal Icing are my go-to recipe for the softest, thickest and creamiest sugar cookies and the easiest Royal Icing. The dough is easy to roll out and work with, holds its shape and edges, and has a wonderful surface for fun decorating. Perfectly simple and wonderful!  MINI-KING CAKESOne of the wonderful traditions of Mardi Gras, and probably the most delicious, is the King Cake. These old-fashioned sweet cinnamon swirled Mini King Cakes are my twist on traditional King Cake. Cinnamon and brown sugar cake is marbled with a buttery yellow cake in this easy recipe, drizzled with cream cheese glaze in traditional purple, green and gold Mardi Gras colors and topped with gold coin sprinkles for some special Mardi Gras fun! My family prefers this tender and moist King Cake to the more traditional bread-like King Cake. And it’s so much fun when everyone finds a baby tucked in their individual cakelet for good luck!
