GOT YOUR "KING CAKE" YET?

King Cake is a sweet tasty cake

eaten on "Kings Day" 

or Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras),

with 3 important colored icings.

According to tradition, a small

plastic baby (symbolizing baby Jesus)

is hidden inside the cake.

And whoever finds it receives good luck,

and is also responsible for buying

next year's cake.

It is customarily adorned with

purple, green and gold icing.

Purple for justice,

green for faith and

gold for power.

Mardi Gras is always the last day

of the Carnival season,

the day before Ash Wednesday,

the first day of Lent.
