Why is the baby on top of the cake and not inside it?

[Anonymous No.5222475]

[Anonymous No.5222705]

to push the baby into bottom of the cake whoever gets it has good luck for one year .unless you choke on it I guess .they don't start baking them until 12 days after Christ was born

[Anonymous No.5223664]

>>5223618
Huh. I thought they just did it mostly where there were big Mardi Gras celebrations. Never really thought much about it before.

[Anonymous No.5223673]

It's fairly typical looking King Cake. Whoever is puzzled, the baby is not baked into storebought cakes, because a host will usually tuck it into the bottom of one of the pieces when serving it. What if they are only serving half of the cake? Where's the fun if it's not in one of those pieces. Not everyone wants to break a tooth either, like the host, or even participate in the tradition of that, anyway. You can also choke. You can see the legal liability for a storebought cake. At home, people do what they want...they may bake a coin into it, or some ceramic trinket.

Although it's called a cake, the modern incarnation is more like a danish ring as you know it. Typical white drizzle icing, sprinkled with the mardi gras colors. The icing keeps it fresh for storebought cakes, as well. There's a pleasant sweet lemony butter flavor in the plain versions. The crazy typical danish flavorings, from cinnamon to strawberry is only a couple of decades old. It's not traditional at all. There's even chocolate versions, or coconut for Zulu party fans.

If you want a real deal, you can order from a Nola bakery shipped Fedex, but other than the sprinkles and fun history? It's simply a danish. You can buy your own sprinkles, and if you like to cook, it's not difficult. It's a yeast dough.

They sell king cake in Cincinnati, but I can't have sugar right now so it isn't appetizing to me.

Bullshit, the Randazzo king cakes they sell here come with the baby baked into it

>What if they are only serving half of the cake?

Then you don't deserve to eat the king cake in the first place
