Any Yankee traditions??
A friend just sent us a King Cake from New Orleans in celebration of Mardi Gras. The cake is baked in a ring shape, decorated with green, yellow and purple decorations, and had Mardi Gras beads on it. There was a little plastic baby baked inside it, and the person who got that piece of cake is declared king for a day, and is supposed to have good luck for the following year, and then be the host of next year's Mardi Gras party.
It was absolutely spectacular, and we would like to come up with a Yankee tradition, where we could reciprocate with something traditional from the North.
We live in upstate New York; does anyone know of something we could do? Nothing R-Rated please! I'm speaking for my three little girls, the recipients of the cake!

When do people begin their "sugaring?" A gift of maple syrup from a local store may work. I don't think there are trees in New Orleans which produce maple syrup. It's a great question - good luck!

I'm a cranky yankee, and I can't think of anything! Although when I was little, I baked a penny inside of a cookie and my brother broke his tooth on it and tried to beat me up...
