I’m having my first serious craving. I’ve craved other things lately like Za’s three cheese pizza, chocolate ice cream, and chips and salsa. Those cravings weren’t too intense, though, because I’m able to satisfy the craving within minutes.
My fingers are all ready to click “order” on the Gambino’s website. And I may as well order five or six full King Cakes, right? If I eat the whole cake and then I get the baby, then I’ll have to provide the next cake, and I’ll get the baby again. Then I’ll have to provide the next cake and… This could go on and on and I’m fine with that!
My husband has never been to New Orleans and I don’t think that it’s the best idea to take him down there for Mardi Gras while I’m pregnant. I’ve already told him that next February when Baby Carroll is 8 months old that we’ll head down there for the celebrations and he can experience New Orleans in all its crazy Mardi Gras glory.
Are there any other displaced Louisiana girls that plan to have Mardi Gras parties in their current towns?
If you get the baby you could always say the next cake is for the baby. In Houston we always had big parties, in Arkansas, not so much. The wal-mart King cake is HORRIBLE
I’m not even pregnant and I’m sharing your craving! I’m not from Louisiana but I’m from Natchez, Miss originally which is super close.
Clients send me king cake during Mardi Gras.
I had never had one until I moved to the South, but they are OH SO delicious!
I wish I had the excuse of a baby for my cravings. Seriously.
I have never heard of those cakes but I (and my growing arse) would like to thank you for introducing me to them!! Well it will once I have one. That thing looks yum!!
Cravings… one of the best parts huh?
Definitely need to bring the Mr. and do Mardi Gras next year! I live in South Louisiana it is CARNIVAL TIME!! Hubby and mine first outing after our baby was to Mardi Gras and it was worth every second! Until we sobered up and raced home to get the baby! Ha….
Oh. my. gosh.
That looks sooo good!!!
You deserve to eat as many of those as you want after being so sick!!
Mmm King Cake!! Love it! A co-worker just brought one in last week from this yummy bakery and it was blueberry/cream cheese! It took all that was inside of me to only eat a small piece. Amazing!
I remember when you brought a King Cake to school (I think it was Freshman year, or something like that!). It was so good!
I LOVE King Cake! My husband went to law school in NEw Orelans so we go back once or twice a year. We’re going in a couple of weeks to catch some of the pareades before the tourist come. Hope you get some King Cake soon!!!!
That cake looks so yummy!! I’ve never had a real King Cake, but now I really want some!
ok i am drooling over that cake…darn WW. Lov hearing about your cravings!
I'm displaced from NOLA – I lived there for a while & was able to introduce Mr. Potts to it. We go back at least once a year. I'm definitely craving King Cake (& I'm drinking from my Port of Call cup right now!) but since we just had our holiday party, I don't foresee any other parties for a few months. 🙂
Hope you'll enjoy some yummy goodness & get that baby!
I crave King Cake ALL the time!!! I’m from Texarkana, TX so I was able to get them easily back then..Now, in Oklahoma…I’m not so sure. I think I’ll order a few. Is Gambino’s good?? Good luck with your cravings and I hope you are feeling well!!! xoxo
I used to work with a bunch of cajun guys at my first job in houston. New Orleans based oil company displaced because of Katrina. Anyways, they always, every single week, ordered something from gambinos. Always. Now, I’m living in Louisiana at Ft. Polk. Order that king cake! Otherwise, I can just send you one lol!
I love za’s pizza!
I’m not a displaced NOLA girl… I’m an Okie girl… HOWEVER, one of my very best friends is. There is a Mardi Gras Ball here in Dallas and I think the hubs and I are going to go with her. It’s supposed to be quite the party! She went last year and loved it and I’m sure we will love it too!
I’m like Em – not a displaced LA gal, but am having my own party because I LOVE parties! And I love King Cake – I’ve been trying to get one ordered for the past few weeks – the problem? I live in NE. Ick.
I’ve already told him that next February when Baby Carroll is 8 months old
Is this the baby’s name or what? I only lurk here at your blog but this was killing me! Possibly its your last name I suppose but i don’t know that!
I have never had king cake before but it looks good.
My mom sent me a king cake the other week! I loved it! I went to college in NOLA and I miss the traditions, the food, & carnival season!
that looks sooo good.
Ohhhh how i love cake!
Oh I love King Cake! I’m definitely having one shipped in from Poupart’s Bakery in Lafayette along with making some King Cake Cupcakes of my own!
Yum, that looks delish!
Just click order! And go ahead and order 5! You deserve it! I always get that stinking baby! 🙂
WHY DID YOU POST A PICTURE OF THAT? Sigh. I need one.
Since I moved away from the Coast, my mom sends me a Paul’s Pastry cake every year. Strawberry/cream cheese is the best. And yes, I always through a Mardi Gras party whereever I am to show everyone around me what it’s all about.
Not from Louisiana or anywhere near there.. but my oh my.. you’re making me want some of that! And i don’t even know what it is!! 🙂
I’m from south LA and I LOVE LOVE LOVE King cake and the season. I say, order it!
