What is a King Cake?
King Cake (aka Three Kings Cake) is a sweet pastry ring consisting of yellow, purple and green icing—with a plastic baby hidden inside. The icing, sprinkles and/or luster dust give the cake its signature colors, but it's really all about whether or not you get the slice with baby Jesus, which is a symbol of luck or prosperity.
