RECIPE: Vegan Mini King Cakes
- Yield: Makes 8 mini cakes 1x
Description
What’s a king cake? Only one of the foods most central to Mardi Gras celebrations. The purple, green, and gold king cakes originated from European epiphany celebrations, symbolizing the visits of the Three Wise Men. French settlers brought the recipes to Louisiana, and rumor has it if you make one, you’ll be visited with good fortune. Even more good fortune if you make it vegan. (Thanks, PETA!)
