I have met some of the greatest people\/clients\/partners along the way and I cannot wait to keep the good times rolling.

This cake was called a &#8216;King Cake&#8217; I had never heard of this cake before. The people talking about the cake were in disbelief that I had never had such a wonderful delicacy that they said &#8216;We will mail you one&#8217;. *Note I do not remember exact words exchanged so don&#8217;t quote me :)* I laugh it off at first as a joke, but then they actually offer to MAIL me a CAKE! In the freaking mail! How cool is that? What kind and selfless people could possibly take the time out of their day, to mail someone across the country, their favorite holiday desert? I was amazed! Those amazing people actually work for a pretty awesome web development company called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gatorworks.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">Gatorworks<\/a> and you can follow them on twitter! They are great people! <\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"5\" cellspacing=\"5\" width=\"550\">\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\"><div id=\"attachment_1031\" style=\"width: 110px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/alisejohnson\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1031\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/alise.jpg\" alt=\"@AliseJohnson\" title=\"alise\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1031 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 100px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 100\/100;\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1031\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">@AliseJohnson<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\"><div id=\"attachment_1032\" style=\"width: 110px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/chaseswindler\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1032\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/chase.jpg\" alt=\"@ChaseSwindler\" title=\"chase\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1032 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 100px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 100\/100;\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1032\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">@ChaseSwindler<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\"><div id=\"attachment_1033\" style=\"width: 110px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/davidlink\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1033\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/david-link.jpg\" alt=\"@DavidLink\" title=\"david-link\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1033 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 100px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 100\/100;\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1033\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">@DavidLink<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>I have learned a lot about Louisiana and the history behind the &#8216;King Cake&#8217; during this process as well!

Talk about a fun AND Delicious cake! I was amazed a few short days later when the King cake arrived at my doorstep! I was very excited to share it with my wife and kids in the spirit of my wonderful friends from gatorworks and Mardi Gras!
