It's Mardi Gras, Baby: 3 Ways With King Cake
Celebrate with one of these variations on the famous Fat Tuesday dessert, from classic to pops.
New Orleans does tradition like no other city — case in point, Mardi Gras, happening now through next Tuesday — but it's also always willing to try new things.

Bonus: If you get the baby (a hidden ingredient in any King Cake), you'll have good luck all year.
