One of the most famous world-wide celebrations, Mardi Gras, is a party like none other. Rich in culture, history, food, decadence, and music, the Mardi Gras celebration isn’t confined just to New Orleans. Mardi Gras, which translates to Fat Tuesday, is the day before Ash Wednesday – the day that signifies the start of the 40 days leading up to Easter (essentially, it’s the day to get all your sinning in before the long fast). If you can’t make it down to NOLA for the festivities, there are several bakeries in Hoboken and Jersey City that are offering festive desserts in honor of the celebration. Read on for a guide to where to purchase Mardi Gras-themed desserts.
