SLIDELL, La (WGNO) – Leave it to somebody from Slidell to clean up a Mardi Gras mess.
The problem solver is working right now at Sugar Love Cakes By Sierra.
She is Sierra. That’s Sierra Dean. She’s a baker with a big dream.
And as WGNO News with a Twist features guy Wild Bill Wood find out, a really big mixing bowl.
In that mixing bowl is where Sierra and her team are creating the solution to what could be a sloppy king cake season.
They’re making king cakes. Well, they’re downsizing king cakes from the current size of king cakes.
And they’re putting their king cakes on a stick!
Usually sticks are the property of popsicles and corn dogs. Now, they’re sticking a stick into a king cake.
The size is bigger than a bite. It’s actually about the size of a slice of king cake. A good, healthy slice.
You’ll see Sierra and her King Cake on a Stick cart at parades around New Orleans during Carnival Season.
King Cake on a Stick will cost you $5.
It’s the invention of somebody from Slidell who started out baking in her mom’s kitchen. But she never wanted to bake to begin with.
Sierra Dee always wanted to be a dancer. Now, she’s chicken dancing her way into king cake history.
