Happy Fat Tuesday, everybody!

Now, as we all know, there's only ONE traditional Mardi Gras dessert bakers have to make today: the King Cake.

So naturally they're making everything BUT.

They've got Mardi Gras cupcakes:

Mardi Gras layer cakes:

...and Mardi Gras donuts:

Heck, they've even got Mardi Gras cinnamon rolls arranged to look like a vaguely unsettling fleur-de-lis:

Then a few brave souls decided to tackle the iconic Mardi Gras masquerade mask:

Which... did not go well.

Wow.

 

Seriously, bakers, what gives? All anyone wanted today was a giant dough ring with a bunch of icing and plastic crap on it, like this:

That's not so hard, is it?

 

Ok, now you try.

O.o

On second thought, better stick with the cupcakes.

 

Thanks to Michelle L., Amy C., Sommer, Robbie B., Jessica S., Kemberlee B., Lisa, & Christine L. for showing us what a Queen cake might look like. HEYOOOO.

P.S. Do we really NEED an apron of a cat waving a lightsaber and an American flag while riding a unicorn breathing fire?

Yes. Yes, we do.
