What
is Mardi Gras without a good king cake? Not only do we have king cake to look
forward to, but also a new delight we never knew we needed to help raise our
Mardi Gras spirit. Now, we have an extra sweet surprise to enjoy during Mardi
Gras festivities as the Copeland's family announces the launch of their new Mardi
Gras-inspired dessert— Mardi Gras King Cake Rum Cream
Bread Pudding.
It is available from now
through March 1 at Copeland's of New Orleans locations. "We have partnered
with three local family businesses to create the ultimate comfort
dessert," Al Copeland, Jr. said in a press release. "Our chef
took the delicious flavor of Gambino's King Cake Rum Cream and
combined it with Kleinpeter's heavy cream to create a warm king
cake rum sauce that tops the from-scratch bread pudding
made from Leidenheimer French bread."
Sidewalk
Side Spirits, another local business, is where Gambino's King Cake Rum Cream comes
from, partnered with Gambino's Bakery and the award-winning bartenders of New
Orleans' Cocktail & Sons to produce the King Cake Rum Cream. "When we
created Sidewalk Side Spirits, it's no coincidence that our
first brand would be Gambino's King Cake Rum Cream," John Eason, founder
of Sidewalk Side Spirits, said in a press release. "We wanted to
build iconic New Orleans spirit brands that had close ties to New Orleans
and the surrounding community. We are excited to partner with Copeland's
deep local roots and a maverick history of culinary innovation,
great food, and fun. Cheers to getting Mardi Gras back and King Cake Rum
Cream Bread Pudding!"
I
hope that no one's sweet tooth ever goes rotten because the well-known King Cake
Cheesecake is back on the menu as well, but only for a limited time! Beginning

Pudding or King Cake Cheesecake this Mardi Gras season will get a doubloon

Gras is back in the city, and we are ready to celebrate," Al Copeland, Jr said
in a press release.
