Come one, come all to the Virtual King Cake Party™!

[thatcrazycajun]

Your Humble Correspondent, wearing several strings of gaudy plastic beads around his neck, carries in a big, round, luscious-looking king cake (those who do not know what one is can go look here). Placing it on a table with paper plates and plastic utensils handy, he takes up a silver cake server and starts slicing. "Happy Twelfth Night, everybody! Carnival season in New Orleans has officially begun!" He begins ladling out pieces of the cake, glistening with purple, green and gold sugar frosting, onto plates.

A tape of concerts and open filking from the just-concluded GAFilk convention plays on the stereo. A large glass jar labeled "Please Donate for Katrina Relief" sits in the corner, waiting for visitors to drop in cash.

Kit gladly takes a plate of cake and a fork after dropping a bit in the jar, and sits on the couch after offering a hug.

TCC gladly accepts a hug from Kit, grins and warns her that if the baby is in her slice of cake, she has to buy the next one.

Kit cautiously cuts her slice up - ah ha, there it is! So, how do I make one of these? She looks quizzical while eating her cake.

Well, if you're masochistic enough to want to try making one rather than simply buying one, there are a number of recipes floating around. One can be found at http://www.realcajunrecipes.com/articles/kingCakes.asp
