I should have posted this days ago, assuming I had the ability to rise above my post-Christmas torpor, a consequence of several hundred packages, an allergy to styrofoam peanuts, and perhaps a bit more Harvey's Bristol Cream than most doctors would advise.
Tomorrow or tonight is Twelfth Night, also known as "Little Christmas," depending on which version of the calendar you choose, and may be either the real date of Jesus' birth or the date the Magi arrived in Bethlehem, depending on which version of the story you follow. Everyone seems to agree that January 6 is the Epiphany, but whether that's the date of Jesus' birth or the date he was revealed to man is the subject of a debate that has split the Christian faith into various churches. Even the mighty Wikipedia can't seem to get it straight.
In a more practical sense, the arrival of Epiphany means that Mardi Gras is on the way, and we've got our genuine New Orleans King Cakes back and available for delivery Tuesday through Friday. We'll be adding a smaller size and a four-pack of individual King Cakes, all with a toy baby baked inside, in the next few days.
As we get closer to Mardi Gras, which falls on February 20 this year, the demand for King Cakes will be high. Place your orders early to guarantee delivery. We received so many orders last year that we had to stop taking orders a week before Mardi Gras, as there's only so many hours in a week for baking.
