Here in the South, Christmas decorations are usually replaced shortly after the season has ended with Mardi Gras decorations. Even though I live three hours from the nearest Mardi Gras celebration, traditional Mardi Gras treats can still be found around town, like king cake! It’s a dessert made of sweet dough rolled around a decadent filling, then covered in frosting and decorated with sprinkles. It’s a delicacy that, unfortunately, is only available for a short window during a certain time of year.
