The Sugar Mommas love tradition but once in awhile…we say…it’s time for a change.  February 16, 2010 is Fat Tuesday and in honor of this celebration, we have decided to make a QUEEN CAKE. This is ModernMom after all, and we thought it’s time we celebrate ourselves; the Queen of the family.  In lieu of the baby, we went for all out BLING.  So make a QUEEN Cake this year. Cut up the slices and see who gets the prize! 

You will need

1 box Mam Papaul’s Mardi Gras King Cake Mix

1 cup hot water

1 egg

1 stick butter

1 baking sheet

1-2 pieces parchment paper

* Follow the directions on the box.  Get the kids involved in kneading the dough and watching it rise.

* If the kids don’t like the praline mix, just use ½ cup of brown sugar mixed with 2 tablespoons of butter.

SASS IT UP!  Use different colors for the sprinkles or stay traditional and add bling for baby. 

DO NOT EAT THE TREASURE…whatever it is. It’s a choking hazard so stay close by when the pieces are served until your guests find the booty.
