Mardi Gras officially begins on the twelfth night of Christmas, also known as Three Kings Day, Epiphany or January 6th.That day also marks the start of king cake season.That's when bakers around the New Orleans area begin churning out the vibrantly colored, ring-shaped desserts. .You have somewhere between six and eight weeks to legally eat as much king cake as you want.Yes, "legally" is maybe a bit strong—there aren't any king cake police—but eating king cake out of season is just odd.It would be like making Christmas cookies and warm eggnog in July.So go grab on of those party-colored, cinnamon rolls, and enjoy it while you can
