Tablescapes, Mardi Gras Table and Easy King Cake

 

 

Come on in and join the Mardi Gras celebration

We always celebrate when there’s an occasion!

 

 

 

 

There’s also a festive wreath on the inside of the door~

Why have just one wreath when you can have more!

 

 

 

 

The table is set with festive glasses and plates

 

 

 

 

Anticipating the Fat Tuesday fun that awaits

 

 

 

 

Masks, crowns, beads, and more

 

 

 

 

No telling what marvelous festivities are in store!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Palace Guard has joined the masquerade

 

 

 

 

A chair sports a needlepoint pillow I recently made

 

 

 

 

Feathers and beads add up to more fun

 

 

 

 

This Palace Guard simply won’t be out done!

 

 

 

 

AND, how about a decorated King Cake,

A ready made Pecan Kringle I didn’t have to bake!

 

 

 

 

I sprinkled gold, green, and purple sugars on the white icing

 

 

 

 

Just remove the beads from the center when you’re ready for slicing!

 

 

 

 

 

Juicy Details

Pecan Kringle/Trader Joe’s…you could use any cake from the grocery deli or a bakery, just add sprinkles!

  1. Jenna, you are all ready for Fat Tuesday with your fun table. I love that the palace guard is making appearances for all the winter festivities. I need to learn needlepoint, love the pillow. Happy Thursday!

    • Needlepoint is lots of fun Pam, I am making Christmas stockings for my daughter and son in law right now, they asked for them! I was about to put the Palace Guard away for a while and then decided to see how he’d look with a mask and beads so he’s safe for now 🙂

    I love that the palace guard has joined the festivities. Great styling and thanks for the inspiration.

    How fun and festive you have decorated for Mardi Gras. I love Mardi Gras, probably because of the time I spent living in New Orleans. My sister marched in many of the parades with the her high school marching band, so I got to attend them! I remember shouting “throw me something mistah”

    Laissez les bons temps rouler Jenna! Love that you Palace Guard has joined the masquerade, too fun. ♥

  5. Sarah Anderson says:

    Jenna, this is so very festive! From the gold details on the plate stack to the delicious King Cake treats, it all says, Laissez les bons temps rouler! Every detail speaks of fun and festivities!
    Your wreaths are wonderful too. And, yes, why have just one? Dod you see the fun Courtly Check masks MKC shared for Mardi Gras? I want to make one to use on a wreath like you’ve done. Won’t happen this year, but planted the seed!
    Happy Mardi Gras!
