I've been shopping at Mardi Gras for nearly 10 years. The ladies who own the shop know their stuff and offer everything needed to make candy, chocolate, and cakes and pastries. They offer premium chocolate which I've used every year to make holiday candies. When I started making "fancy" cupcakes for my daughter's birthdays, the ladies helped me understand fondant, icing colors, decorating with icing, and cupcake display. Mardi Gras is a true gem and I enthusiastically recommend them for all of your baking and candy needs.
