King cake
Cakes
The King Cake is a sacred confection eaten between Epiphany and Mardi Gras. In different parts of the world, there are different traditions for the type of cake, the filling, and the trinket that’s hidden in the center. In the US, a little plastic baby that represents Jesus is hidden inside the cake and whoever gets the slice with the baby wins. The prize is often the honor of hosting the next King Cake party. (Prize, burden, whatever you’d like to call it…) So the next time you’re looking to break a tooth on a small, plastic Jesus, here is a recipe for you.
