KING CAKES

What is a King Cake?A King Cake is typically an oval-shaped ring symbolizing unity. It is covered in carnival-colored sugars—purple (justice), green (faith), and gold (power).

How are King Cakes unique? King Cakes contain a hidden surprise. In the past, a bean, pecan or coin was hidden in the dough before baking. Today, a tiny plastic baby is used. As the cake is served, each person checks their piece for the baby by piercing it with a fork. The person who finds the baby is declared "King of the Party" and obliged to bring a King Cake to the next seasonal celebration.
