Our partnership with the Made in New Orleans Foundation and Gracious Bakery + Café is back for a 3rd year! The week before Mardi Gras, king cakes purchased from all Gracious Bakery + Café locations will feature pourquoi tales about the origin of the king cake.
Pourquoi Tales are fictional stories that explain how something came to be. These hilarious and engaging stories were written by 1st-12th graders from all around New Orleans. If you want to write your own king cake pourquoi tale, you can follow this plan, also available on 826 Digital.
Support youth voice while enjoying delicious king cake at the same time!
This Mardi Gras, your king cakes come with more than just a baby! Order a king cake from Gracious Bakery and get a king cake origin story written by young New Orleans authors.
