  • Today is Mardi Gras, also known as Fat Tuesday, and we honored the occasion with a traditional King Cake from Beck's Cajun Cafe. Watch to see who found the baby inside the cake.

The article from MSN discusses the celebration of Mardi Gras, focusing on the tradition of King Cake. Mardi Gras, known for its vibrant parades, costumes, and parties, culminates in the consumption of King Cake, a sweet, circular pastry that symbolizes the unity of faiths during the Carnival season. Originating from medieval Europe, the King Cake has evolved in New Orleans to include a small plastic baby hidden inside, representing baby Jesus. The person who finds the baby in their slice is traditionally responsible for hosting the next King Cake party or providing the next cake. The article also touches on the various flavors and styles of King Cake available today, from traditional cinnamon and sugar to more modern fillings like cream cheese or fruit, reflecting the diverse cultural influences in New Orleans. This year, celebrations are marked by both traditional revelry and the unique adaptations due to ongoing global health considerations.
