Yum Yum... Gimme Sum! King Cake Giveaway

It's time to face the facts. My little Dixie Lust can't do it all. I can detail carnival traditions that I've taken part of since I was a toddler. I can take you along on this year's Mardi Gras adventures with my tweets. Hundreds of uploaded photos can draw you in to the flashy metallics of the beads and dublooms. Weekly music playlists can make you want to dance in the streets along with the second line.

But you and I know both know the best way to experience something - to experience something like a true southerner is to taste it!

So! I'm so super excited to announce that every week between now and Mardi Gras I will be giving away one of these babies....

((hey hey baby Jesus!))

((so this isn't a Meche's King Cake but its all I have on such short notice. Check back next week for actual photos))

That's right. Every week between now and February 16th, Dixie Lust is going to be giving away a King Cake along with some other Mardi Gras goodies.

Everyone around here is fiercely protective of their favorite bakery when the talk turns to King Cakes. There are entire conversati...*ahem* arguments over which bakery in south Louisana has the best cake. And I'm no different. I absolutely love the King Cakes from Meche's Bakery. I grew up on them and to this day they're my go-to cake. If you win, you'll get to see what all the fuss is about!

Here's the Details:

• A post will go up each Thursday about King Cakes.
• Leave a comment on the King Cake Post telling me you're a follower for one entry.
• Leave another comment answering that posts question for a second entry.
• Post about the giveaway on any social media outlet, and leave a comment with the link to it for a third entry.
• Each entry must be left in a separate comment, or it will all be counted as one entry!
• No one is exempt from the contest! Anyone and everyone is encouraged to enter!
• If you don't win one week, come back and enter the next week!
• That weeks entry deadline is the Tuesday following the post at noon CST.
• I will draw the winner at random and announce it at 1pm CST on Tuesday.
• That weeks winner will have until midnight on Tuesday to send me their mailing address.
• King Cakes will be shipped out on Wednesday and the whole thing will begin again the next day.

**I feel silly for posting this, but it must be said. I have nothing to do with the making of the king cakes, therefore, please know that Dixie Lust is not responsible for any food allergies or reactions that may occur**

Got all that?!

Good. Now enter!
