Ah, Mardi Gras.

I happen to live in a place where Mardi Gras lasts a lot longer than it should.  No, I don’t live in New Orleans, or even Rio.  I live in Orlando, and thanks to Universal Studios Theme Park, I hear about Mardi Gras looooonnnnngggg into the Lenten Season.  But I digress.

I happen to love the tradition of the King Cake.  Do you know about this?  A king cake is a brioche-style cake, which may or may not have a filling, that’s traditionally baked in a ring, and decorated with a glaze and the colors of Mardi Gras:  yellow, purple, and green.  Another fun part of the tradition?  There is usually a small baby figurine (representing infant Jesus) baked inside, and if you get the slice with the baby, you have certain rights and privileges.

So…I’m gonna take a guess, and assume that this groom is a Louisiana Boy!  I love LOVE this tiered king cake as groom’s cake, complete with a crown topper!  It makes me want to head right into the kitchen and whip up this treat, which we normally enjoy just before Lent begins.  Wouldn’t you love a slice, too?

I found this terrific pic on Pinterest.  Unfortunately, I don’t know who baked it…but I had to share anyway.  It was just too fun to pass up!

Do you know who put together this fabulous tiered king cake?  Please leave us a comment below!
