Right about now you’re probably wondering what could be better than post-Valentine’s Day chocolate clearances and the spakin’ new installment of Cadbury eggs. If you’re thinking Peeps, wrong. 150% wrong. And gross.
No, it’s not the resurrection of Jebus. (For some of you maybe, but I’m still figuring out all of that hocus pocus and since I consider the two of us – me and you, the world wide intraweb – to still be courting, I’ll keep those opinions all to myself until our conversations slip into something a little more comfortable.)
Anyway, I’m talking KING CAKE. With that cute little plastic baby inside that you try not to choke on and when you find it, you’re half excited and half creeped out.
I realize that there are religious aspects to King Cakes, which I likely would disagree with, but who cares. It’s a novelty anyway and I’m not boycotting Lucky Charms just because last year I found out leprechauns don’t really exist.
I’ve never made a King Cake before, but it’s all new in ’09 so I’m thinking of giving it a shot. Where the heck do I find one of those little babies, though? I didn’t find it in my slice last year (okay, in any of my slices) so technically I’m breaking the law by starting a new thread. Rogue.
I’ll probably make this one unless you have a better idea. . . but don’t be surprised, especially you suckers in my office, if you find a mini Darth Vader or a Lego man inside, instead of a naked little fetus.
