“Laissez les bons temps rouler!" Mrs. D.

On the 10th of December we lost a wonderful lady that meant a lot to us. She was a huge inspiration for me to be a better baker and to learn more about Mardi Gras (lol). She taught me how to correctly write the term  “Laissez les bons temps rouler!" which translated means "Let the good times roll". We will miss you Mrs. D. but we know you are in a better place.
