What is a King Cake?

It's a beautiful traditional cake made with brioche dough, sugar, cinnamon and cream cheese filling that is generously covered in festive tri-colored sugar.

The King Cake is a tradition that dates back to France during the 12th century. The cake, sometimes called a “Twelfth Night Cake”, was used to mark the celebration of the three kings’ 12-day journey to reach the Christ child. This celebration, known as the Feast of the Epiphany, marks the beginning of Mardi Gras or Carnival season. The celebration is always the day before Ash Wednesday, commonly known as Fat Tuesday.

The King Cake is rich in symbolism. The round shape represents the circular route the kings took in order to confuse King Herod who was following them to find and kill the Christ child. The circular shape is also said to represent the unity of all faiths. The colorful cake is decorated specifically to represent Justice (purple), Faith (green) and Power (gold). In times past, the cake was baked with a tiny bean or pea hidden somewhere inside representing the Christ child.

Today, King Cakes are commonly known to use a plastic or porcelain trinket or baby. During King Cake celebrations the person who has this trinket in their piece of cake is declared “King for the Day” and is expected to host the King Cake party next year.
