Mardi Gras King Cake: thanks, Sista Lynn!

Lynn brought us a Mardi Gras King Cake from New Orleans.  The King Cake is baked with a plastic baby inside.  Whoever gets the piece of cake with the baby in it hosts the next King Cake party.  Parties go on for several weeks before Mardi Gras, until Ash Wednesday, when Lent begins.  This year, Mardi Gras is on February 21st.  Forty days of Lent follow, then Palm Sunday.  Can you spot the baby in the cake?

This is a different King Cake that Lynn brought to Mema and Pepa Hogan's house in Shreveport.  I think Papa Tom has found the baby!

Ta-da!  Papa Tom, you're in charge of the next party!
