Another fabulous post by Kikita
A few days ago, a box arrived at my home. And abuela was instantly excited. From the outside of the box, she and I both knew the glorious heaven that lay inside. And she reminded me about the game. About how there is a baby Jesus somewhere in the cake and whoever gets the piece with him in it has to buy the next cake.
BUT . . . there was more than just the "kingly" cake inside!
THERE WERE GOODIES!! Coffee, a cd, a magazine, Mardi Gras beads and a note:
I couldn't wait to see Sheila & her tree again . . . no, really. I couldn't.
In fact, I didn't.
I took the cake to work and had it for breakfast, lunch, tea, or any other time I felt like having it.
So, needless to say, I found the baby . . . and I may consider sending away for another cake (to actually share with Sheila this time).
Today I had 3 pieces (I was determined to find Jesus). And find him I did!
Yes, feeling rather fat now. And it's Tuesday, so I guess it's appropriate. Mardi Gras. Fat Tuesday. HA!
Well, what can I say?
Laissez le bon temps rouler!!
(Oh yeah, and THANKS BILLY!!)
Ha!! that’s awesome!So you really did find Jesus today! LOL
Laissez le bon temps rouler, Amy!!! You have found the baby and are Queen for the day. Live it up, Your Royal Highness. You’re hosting the next King Cake party.I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Can it still be fair if YOU’RE the one that ate the whole thing and no one else had the opportunity to find Jesus. Sounds rigged to me!
Mario,I WAS sharing . . . with the people at work . . . 🙂
*Sigh* Mario, she was supposed to share…but now she’ll just have to order another one.Kikita, while Randazzo’s is my favorite (www.kingcakes.com), Haydel’s is really good too (www.haydelbakery.com) and they have the best prices for what you get in the box. Have a party and take lots of pictures so I can blog about it!
And please, please put the beads on Sheila’s tree to ward off the bad luck she is bringing upon you all!!!
😉
OMG!!! So that’s why you said you found Jesus!!!!That is too funny!!!!
