King
Cake History
The kingcake
of the New Orleans Mardi Gras tradition comes
in a number of styles. The most simple, said to be the most traditional, is
a ring of twisted bread topped with icing or sugar, usually coloured purple, green, and gold (the traditional
Carnival colors) with food colouring. Some
varieties have filling inside, the most common being cream
cheese followed by praline.
A king cake (sometimes rendered
as kingcake) is a type of cake associated
with Carnival
traditions. It is popular in Carnival season in the area of France (galette des rois),
Portugal
(Bolo Rei), Spain (Roscón de Reyes)
and Catalonia (tortell), Greece (vasilopita), Bulgary
(banitsa) and
also in the United States, which celebrates Carnival ranging
from Mobile, Alabama to East
Texas, centered on New Orleans. The cakes have a small
trinket (usually a small plastic baby) inside, and the person who gets the
piece of cake with the trinket has various privileges and obligations.
The season for king cakes extends from
the end of the Twelve Days of Christmas (Twelfth Night and Epiphany Day), through to Mardi Gras Day. Some
organizations or groups of friends may have "king cake parties"
every week through the Carnival season.
The tradition was brought to the area
by colonists from France and Spain. King cake parties in New Orleans are documented back to the
eighteenth century.
