I'm totally bananas 🍌 for @maesbakeshopnola's Monkey Bread King Cake! 👑 What? Somebody had to say it! 😂

All kidding aside, @chef_fogg kicks some serious Twelfth Night ass --the pull apart cinnamon roll-like King Cake was tender on the inside, with candied and buttered crispness outside, I just polished off a quarter of this cake and now I want more.👑🍰 #whattookmesolong

Did I say I couldn't have any more king cake? Yeah, well I lied. 🤣 I couldn't resist the bulbous brioche filled with cream cheese, cinnamon and brown sugar, a weighty beauty that's always in my top five favorites from @tartinenola.

Sadly...too busy to bake during the week, so instead of Fat Tuesday, I'm digging into homemade vegan Fat Sunday King Cakes. Boom! . . #fattuesday #kingcake #veganbaking #vegan #homemade #baking #baker #pressedfortime https://www.instagram.com/p/Co27PF6vGsG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Time for #MardiGras #KingCake on my next run to @SchnuckMarkets #GroceryStore #FatTuesday Feb 21 #Lent is Feb 22 - Apr 6 (#FishFriday) The name “king cake” comes from the #Biblical story of the three kings who bring gifts to Baby #Jesus. A blend of coffee cake and cinnamon roll, king cake is usually iced in yellow, green and purple – the colors of Mardi Gras and a hidden toy baby inside. Most king cakes are traditionally decorated in royal colors of #purple, which signifies “justice,” #green for “growth,” and #gold meaning “prosperity and wealth.” These colors can be seen as chosen to resemble a jeweled crown honoring the three wise men and their gifts during the visit of the Christ Child on #Epiphany (Jan 6), the Christian #NewYear King cake also appears on tables throughout the Carnival season, which runs from Epiphany to Fat Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent), at which point practitioners typically abstain from such indulgences as cake.
