No Mardi Gras celebration would be complete without a king cake. But, there are cakes, and then there are Dianna Hankey''s cakes. The British expatriate''s fresh, sweet bread pastry is plump with luscious cream cheese filling, brown sugar, cinnamon, sugary icing and colorful sprinkles. And those are the "plain ones."
Hankey is the former proprietor of The British Pantry in New Hope, a thriving business she closed in anticipation of her husband''s expected transfer from Columbus Air Force Base.
