Before I make an utter ass of myself, is this a thing?  Like, a Mardi Gras thing?  Making yellow and purple doughnut cakes filled with strings of beads and plastic babies?  I do not know much about mardi gras, so maybe I am ill informed.  It is also possible that the grocery store was given an order for a dozen cakes for mardi gras-themed baby showers.  Or baby shower-themed mardi gras parties?  I don't pretend to know about these things.
