King's Cakes
KING'S CAKES $12.95 EACH
We take our delicious Danish dough and fill it with cheese and cinnamon sugar, drizzle it with vanilla icing and garnish it with purple sugar (representing justice), yellow sugar (denoting power), and green sugar (standing for faith). Traditionally sold during Epiphany through Fat Tuesday (Fachnacht day/ Doughnut Day/ Shrove Tuesday) marking the 3 wise men bringing gifts to the Christ Child. The cake is made oval or round to signify the king's circular route to confuse King Herod who wanted the child killed. Cakes are often adorned with Mardi Gras Beads, coins, and crowns. Hidden in the cake is a sugar baby - whomever gets that piece is crowned "King" or "Queen" for the day and is obligated to purchase the cake for the next year's celebration. Always best to pre-order… 215-357-3860
