It's Mardi Gras time.
That means King Cake!
This one has a Strawberry Creme filling.
Yum.
Here on the Gulf Coast the King Cake is associated with the pre-Lenten celebrations of Mardi Gras/Carnival.
In the southern United States, the tradition was brought to the area by colonists from France and Spain.
The King Cake comes in a number of styles. The most simple, said to be the most traditional, is a ring of twisted cinnamon roll-style dough topped with icing or sugar, usually colored purple, green and gold (traditional Mardi Gras colors) with food coloring. King cakes may also be filled with additional foodstuffs - the most common being cream cheese, praline, cinnamon or strawberry.
Finding the baby in the cake is said to bring good luck and you must supply the King Cake for the next years party.

I've started adding the green to the flowers for the afghan.
Almost finished The Readaholics and the Gothic Gala by Laura DiSilverio.
I enjoy the readholics series.
Book club members that always seems to get caught up in murder
and the book they are reading offers clues!
This time they are reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier.
Wishing YOU well and much joy!
