King Cake Recipes

King Cake Recipes leftquote The classic king cake is oval-shaped and most often made from a coffeecake like dough. They are filled with a cream cheese (or other) filling and sprinkled with colored sugar (purple, gold, and green traditionally). The cakes often contain a small plastic baby inside (said to represent baby Jesus). The one who gets the trinket in their piece at Mardi Gras or Carnival is the "king" of the feast. rightquote
