A brief overview of the Mardi Gras King Cake:

A huge part of a traditional Mardi Gras Celebration, especially amongst the kids, is the annual Mardi Gras King Cake. The King Cake is a round to oval-shaped bakery delight that is a cross between a coffee cake and a French pastry. It’s as rich in history as it is in flavor and decorated in purple, green, and gold to match the occasion. In modern day, a small plastic baby is placed inside the cake and whoever finds the baby in their slice is then crowned king or queen for the day and expected to host next year’s party and provide the King Cake.
