King Cake: Happy Birthday #25

Wow! What a break....Well, now I'm back and I have a TON of stuff to post! (While I've not been posting, I have been taking pictures.) Anyway, today is my birthday (yay!), and what is a birthday without a little cake?? Of course, I couldn't just have any cake. I had to have a King Cake, which is my faaaaavorite cake. A king cake is a cake made for the US holiday Mardi Gras. Baked inside the cake is a tiny baby Jesus, and in my family if you find the baby Jesus, you have to buy the cake next year. Since Georgia is not known for king cakes of any kind, I ordered mine from a great bakery called Julie Annes Bakery in Shreveport, Louisiana. You can order off of their site!
The top of the cake is always covered in purple, green and gold sprinkles.

Isn't is pretty?? Sooooooo delicious too....So, of course, we had to sing happy birthday first.And then FINALLY I got to eat a piece, and purple being my favorite color, I chose purple. As you can see, I bought a traditional cinnamon and sugar king cake, but Julie Annes sells them filled with all kinds of delicious fruits, like cream cheese and cherries, pineapple, or blueberries (just to name a few). And with my awesome luck, after my 2nd fork full, I felt my fork hit something hard. It was the baby Jesus! So I guess I'll be buying the cake next year, lol.
