King Cake
I mentioned awhile back that we celebrated Epiphany with our friends Paul, Kim, and their daughter (John's God daughter) Nina. The Epiphany celebration is a very big thing in Columbia, and Paul and Kim want to teach Nina about where she was born.
Part of the celebration revolves around King Cake! I'd never had it before but am all about any celebration that revolves around chow :) I totally fell in love with this cake. It's light and the yeast base adds so much depth to its flavors. If you've never made it or tried it, you should! Not the healthiest thing around (what's that you say??? how many sticks of butter??), but hey, as long as you don't eat the whole thing... ;)
Nina and her buddy Gabe decorated the cake. I think they did a marvelous job!
