If you haven’t had one of these Mardi Gras treats, there are plenty to choose from. They are iced in yellow, green and purple, the colors of Mardi Gras, and come in a variety of flavors, including different fruit fillings and cream cheese.
Also known as a Three Kings Cake, they often contain a small baby representing the Christ Child inside. Whoever finds the fève in their piece receives good luck and must bring the king cake next year or throw the next Mardi Gras party.
