Week of July 15: Swamp Monster, Baking Classes and King Cake

The fan favorite iced Swamp Monster at CR Coffee Shop on Magazine Street returns today, a naturally sweet green concoction made from pandan, spices, fresh brewed coffee and more. Don’t let the Monday morning blahs get you down, check it out!

Interested in upping your baking game? Bronwen Wyatt at Bayou Saint Cakes recently premiered her online dome cake baking class. In each class, bakers will learn how to build, frost and decorate your own creations. Learn from the pro, practice at home and debut at your next family gathering, birthday party or celebration. Get the all of the sweet details here.

The Ogden Museum is back with after-hours fun this Thursday, July 18, 6 to 8 p.m. The event features live music from Dave Lemon, a food pop-up, cash bar and an arts and crafts table for kid-friendly fun. Find out more information and get tickets here.

Celebrate TGIF this week at Rosella in Mid-City with their Wineday Friday special, with $16 carafes and kids’ meals for $5, from 4 to 7 p.m. Wine + beer + burgers + corn dogs + happy hour = a winning combination.

Just going to leave you here with a fabulous reminder from the divas over at the King Cake Hub that we are only six months away from the return of Carnival…and king cake season!
