The King Cake came to New Orleans with the French settlers around 1870, continuing a custom dating back to 12th Centure France. Known as the Feast of the Epiphany or King's Day, January 6th marks the beginning of the carnival season and runs through Fat Tuesday - Mardi Gras Day. New Orleans Gourmet Foods' King Cake Mix is most like the original French couronne. It starts with a dough that bakes into a moist sweet brioche. The mix is all-natural and comes ready to mix, bake and enjoy, and what great packaging! They even include the plastic baby and colorful confection to sprinkle on top in the colors of Mardi Gras - purple (justice), green (faith) and gold (power). Of course, the product wouldn't be complete without some Mardi Gras beads, so yeah - we toss them in, too. And remember - tradition dictates that whoever gets the baby buys the next King Cake!
