Throw Me Somethin’ Y’all. Celebrate Mardi Gras with a King Cake

If you’re not heading down to the WhoDat Nation for Mardi Gras ~ because there’s work and school on Fat Tuesday everywhere in the free world where they aren’t starting the day off at 7 am with bloodies & beignets ~ but you want to celebrate anyway, here’s where to find a King Cake in Charlotte.

Just fyi, people in New Orleans eat king cake for weeks in advance of actual Mardi Gras day, as it’s actually more of a season down there. The person who gets the baby has to bring the next day’s /next time’s king cake, and so on and so on.

Order asap, these almost always sell out, and please don’t forget to tell ’em you saw it on scoop!
