This famous cake is sold during Mardi Gras.
What is King Cake? The pastry is thought to have originated in France in the 12th century, where it was eaten to celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany—said to mark the day the Magi came upon the baby Jesus. The circular cake, with an opening in the center, symbolizes the circular route the kings took to prevent King Herod from killing the Christ Child. Traditionally, Mardi Gras king cakes were baked with a small plastic baby hidden inside. The person who received the piece with the baby was expected to continue the festivities with another party and another cake. Today, the babies are often placed in the center of the cake after it's baked (rather than baked inside), but the tradition of carrying on the party is the same.
