Morning Call in Metairie for beignets and coffee for sure!

Unfortunately this is gone now, but check out the Pine Tree Lodge on LaBelle Road. Not quite the same atmosphere, but excellent stuffed crab!

Thanks for the great suggestions!! I knew I could count on eGulleters! Yes, we're coming to the cake competition although I'm not entering myself, I've only been caking for two years and I need to work on a lot of skills before I'm ready for that!! Again, thanks for all the suggestions. That smoked bologna sounds very intriguing!

My friends and I will be going to the Oklahoma State Sugar Art Show and need some recommendations for dinner places. I'm a Louisiana native living in southeast Texas, so I'm used to Tex-Mex and Cajun cuisine....what sort of food is most popular in OK? Thanks in advance for any suggestions! We're trying to stay under $20 an entree and far, far away from national chains.

My knee-jerk guess is buttercream. I love reading your blogs and dining threads! I'm mostly a lurker but I wanted to tell you that your threads are very enjoyable.

Wonderful blog! As a Cajun born and raised in Louisiana and then Texas, I really enjoyed reading about the area my ancestors are from. Darling children!!

I must try the Greenspan recipe!! Another vote for crispy outside, chewy inside.

Unless I'm reading the entry form wrong, anyone over 18 can enter the wedding cake competition.

Thanks! I had no idea. Well, down to one silpat. Excuse to shop.

Cutting cake boards with the X-acto.....and forgetting the silpat was underneath!! Oh well, I now have 3 silpats instead of two....

Sonic CheddarPeppers Bacon cheeseburger, fries, and at least two tubs of ketchup from Whataburger Chocolate chip cookie dough and canned chocolate frosting, layered like a trifle (once a year) RL cheese biscuits Cajun pistols at the county festival!!

I vote for fondant with royal piped on. It sounds like a very interesting cake!
