Mardi Gras RecipesMardi Gras recipes for your Mardi Gras party. The Mardi Gras season culminates on the Tuesday (Fat Tuesday) before Ash Wednesday. Enjoy these Mardi Gras treats.  Mardi Gras Recipes Compliments of Makin' Memories Cookbook  So, what exactly is Mardi Gras? Mardi Gras officially begins on the 12th day after Christmas and ends the day before Lent or "Fat Tuesday" as it is known. January 6th, the Epiphany (or literally, "little Christmas") has been observed as the day the Wise Men found the Baby Jesus.
King Cakes were first started to celebrate "Kings Day", with King Cakes decorated in the colors green, yellow, and purple to represent the three gifts of the Wise Men for the Baby Jesus.
King Cakes are very popular in New Orleans and south Louisiana.
