Community Coffee Company offers Mardi Gras traditions to the rest of the country
BATON ROUGE, LA – Nothing screams Mardi Gras tradition more than a King Cake! Community Coffee Company is letting the “Good Times Roll” with its Carnivale Cake Coffee and Marguerite’s King Cakes, which are available in cinnamon, cream cheese and Cajun praline.
“Mardi Gras season is one of my favorite times of the year in Louisiana, and it is the perfect time to experience and share the rich culture of Mardi Gras tradition with friends and family both at home and around the country. The good times can’t roll without Mardi Gras King Cakes and a cup of Community coffee,” said Matt Saurage, president and fourth-generation family member of Community Coffee Company.
King Cakes are shipped overnight through CommunityCoffee.com with a free 12 oz. bag of Café Special® coffee, which complements the tasty cinnamon flavor of a King Cake. King Cakes have been a New Orleans Carnival favorite for as long as Mardi Gras has been around. The delicious dessert is made of braided dough and topped with a light glaze and a blend of sugar in the three colors of Mardi Gras: Purple (representing Justice), Green (representing Faith) and Gold (representing Power). Each cake includes a tiny plastic baby that is inserted in the King Cake before shipping. Tradition has it that the person who receives the baby in his/her piece of cake must buy the next King Cake or host the next party. Bring the celebration home and taste the genuine flavor of New Orleans! All of Community Coffee Company’s Mardi Gras offerings include:
