Coffee and King Cake in Food Directory

The King Cake is believed to have originated in France around the 12th Century. In European countries, the coming of the three wise men bearing gifts to the Christ child is celebrated twelve days after Christmas, called the Feast of the Epiphany, Little Christmas on the Twelfth Night, or Kings Day. The most popular custom is the baking of a special cake in honor of the three kings... a Kings Cake. These cakes were made round to portray the circular route used by the wise men. This route was taken in order to confuse King Herod who was trying to kill the Christ child. King cakes were first introduced with little decorations on a simple ring of dough. The New Orleans style king cake is brightly decorated with the traditional Mardi Gras colors: purple, representing justice; green, representing faith; and gold, representing power. Our fresh baked king cakes are part of another fine Louisiana tradition. So get into the Mardi Gras spirit and order your king cake today!
