In honor of Mardi Gras, I decided to make a King's Cake cupcake. Forgive me, I can't find the link to the recipe now. It's a spice cake with buttercream frosting. I was going to make the glaze but then you could see the hole in the top for the baby.
I dipped them in sugar to decorate them in traditional King's Cake colors of green, purple and gold. Purple represents justice, gold represents power and green represents faith.
I got the cute mardi gras masks from Mary Carter Paints. LOVE this store! Everything baking related.
My mom got into town Saturday, so she got to be the taste audience. I also saved her one from everyday to taste.
Yup! There's a baby in it! The baby (or other trinkets) mean if you find one in your piece of King Cake (or in this case, cupcake) means you have to provide the King Cake next year, or host the mardi gras party.
Happy Mardi Gras!
