For a richer flavor, consider adding a touch of almond extract to the frosting. Feel free to customize the decorations with your favorite Mardi Gras colors and embellishments. If you don't have food coloring, you can use natural alternatives like spinach juice for green, turmeric for yellow, and beet juice for red.
