Lemon Pie Cupcakes , Hurricanes + More Mardi Gras Fun !
 Here's another little treat that I served at my Mardi Gras party. These easy little jewels are a favorite at my house and are sure to be at yours. They taste just like a scrumptious lemon pie, but are rolled into a tasty cupcake and can be decorated for Mardi Gras or any other holiday by simply changing the colors of the sprinkles. I topped them off with my luscious cream cheese frosting. Cest bon, cher!Lemon Pie Cupcakes 1 box yellow or lemon cake mix 2 large eggs 1/2 cup water 1 can lemon pie filling  In large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, water, and pie filling. Mix with electric mixer until well blended. Spoon into festive paper muffin cups, and bake in a 325 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool and frost. Fab!Cream Cheese Frosting 1 (8 ounce pkg. cream cheese, softened) 1 tbs.milk 1 tsp. vanilla extract 4 cups confectioners sugar In large bowl, mix the cream cheese, milk, vanilla, and confectioners sugar, until smooth.

Some say this is the drink of choice for Mardi Gras, but just make sure that you have a designated driver, BEFORE you have one. Guaranteed to make you happy! Cheers, cher! New Orleans Hurricane  1 1/2 ounces dark rum 1 oz. orange juice 1 oz. lime juice 1/4 cup passion fruit juice 1 tsp. sugar 1 tsp. grenadine Ice cubes Orange slices and cherries for garnish Combine all ingredients, except grenadine and ice, in a cocktail shaker, and stir until sugar is dissolved. Stir in the grenadine and ice, and shake. Fill a hurricane glass, half full of ice and strain drink into glass. Garnish with an orange slice and marachino cherry.

Since today is Lundi Gras and tomorrow is Fat Tuesday, the party is really going to get rolling, tonight! Here are a few pics of Le Festival de Mardi Gras at Cajun Field, in Lafayette. Great live Cajun music, food, and of course, dancing, through Mardi Gras night. Plus, a carnival and amusement park for the kids. And Wayne Toups will be taking the stage tonight at 10 pm! See ya'll there! Le Festival de Mardi Gras de Lafayette We saw Nik-L Beer, a hot rock and roll band, and they were really rev-ing up the crowd.  Some friends had a tent and were cooking up a storm. BBQ'd chicken and ribs.  There were also long lines at the food and drink booths.  Walking along the parade route. Lots of walking!  And here's a little clip that I took of the Nik-L-Beer Band, rockin' the crowd. Lots more to come, so stay tuned! And here's a clip of the Krewe of Rio parade. We got lots of beads at this one! Wishing you all a safe and Happy Mardi Gras! Merci beaucoup for stopping by!  related searches : Lemon
