Mardi Gras season officially kicked off on Jan. 6, and that means king cakes are here.

For those who might not be familiar with king cakes, a sweet Danish dough is filled with cinnamon sugar, cream cheese or fruit filling and is then covered with vanilla icing and decorated with the Mardi Gras colors of purple, green and gold.

The person who gets the slice with the baby inside becomes “king” for the day and is bound by custom to host the next party and provide the king cake.
