<holidayfyi-glossary slug="king-cake"></holidayfyi-glossary>A festive ring-shaped cake decorated with colored sugars in Mardi Gras purple, gold, and green, traditionally eaten during the Carnival season from Epiphany to Mardi Gras in New Orleans and Louisiana. A small plastic baby figurine is hidden inside; whoever finds it must host the next party or buy the next king cake. Similar ring cakes exist across Europe for Epiphany, including the French galette des rois and Spanish roscon de reyes.
