It's a cake made for Mardi Gras in the South. It often decorated in Mardi Gras colors & sometimes has a trinket baked inside it & supposedly, who ever get the piece with trinket hosts next year's party or provides the cake. Living up north, I've never had any, nor do I really know all that much about it, except that it's a thing. XD
To clarify the king cake a little better. There are different kinds of King Cakes all over the world, but the ones Kira was talking about are specific to New Orleans and are served during the Carnival season from Epiphany Eve to Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras). It was a tradition brought over from France and now come covered in colored sugars in New Orleans' MArdi Gras colors and in a ring shape. They are named for the biblical three kings and celebrates the visitation from Magi to the Christ child.
There is supposed to be a trinket or baby inside. The person who gets the baby is supposed to host next year's party.
Thanks for clearing this up, Kat! I had no idea that it was a New Orleans thing only. XD I saw pix of them online & just figured it was a southern thing. XD With a BIG PARTY held in New Orleans every year. XD
Its a from New Orleans thing, but other places in the south do them, hell you can get them everywhere. Our bakeries here make them even. You could probably find one. Also, you can order them from New Orleans if you want, they ship them all over the world. Though an "off season" one would be cheapest. Basically, they are a giant cinnamon roll like dough in a ring covered in icing and colored sugar. So like an extra spicy, spice cake. You can also get them with fillings.
Cool! The bakeries around here closed as most supermarkets now have them. So I've never seen one around here. OMG! They sound sooo GOOD! *likes cinnamon rolls* I probably could order one, but then I'd probably forget about it until the next Marti Gras. XD
