Brookshire Brothers King Cakes

Mardi Gras is right around the corner, and Brookshire Brothers is here to help you celebrate in style!

Did you know? King Cakes were thought to be brought to the New World by Old World France and Spain. Originally called a "Three Kings Cake," the tradition was born in representation of the three kings (or wise men) who brought gifts to the baby Jesus in the Christian Bible. 

The cake is a blend of coffee cake and cinnamon roll, typically iced in Mardi Gras colors: Purple (Justice), Green (Faith), and Gold (Power).

King Cakes are often packed with fruit fillings and cream cheeses with a hidden surprise in the middle—a plastic king cake baby. Whoever ends up with the baby must either bring the next cake or throw a party, encouraging the festivities to never end!
