What is a King Cake?

Eddies Bakery King Cake in Fresno

King Cake was discovered in New Orleans.  Yet, this pre-Mardi Gras coffee cake actually has its roots in Epiphany, the Christian religious holiday on January 6 which represents the Three Wise Men who discovered the Christ Child.  New Orleans has a decades-old tradition of shipping literally hundreds of thousands of King Cake world –wide to customers who love this unique bakery item.  We want you to enjoy a King Cake, too. They are now available in our bakery counter.

 

What’s the King Cake Story?

King Cake has its roots in the celebration of the birth of Christ.  This oval, braided coffee cake has a special gift baked inside to represent the gift of the Christ Child.  Latin and European cultures around the world have different customs for what gift is baked inside. You might find a coin, a pea, a bean, or a plastic baby.  The person who is lucky enough to find the gift in their slice is truly blessed, indeed.

 

What’s a King Cake Look Like?

Outside, your cake is decorated in official Mardi Gras colors.  Green stands for faith.  Gold represents power.  And purple represents justice.  These are truly blessings of the New Year and qualities sure to bring you prosperity and happiness.
