This video on Mardi Gras King Cake answers the question 'What is the origin of the purple green and gold colored bread of the Mardi Gras carneval, the King Cake made of cinnamon dough?' Producer Anne-Marie Berger went to New Orleans to find out the origin of the Mardi Gras King Cake. "This old tradition started as a pagan ritual in Europe to select a king or queen for the day... This cake is a fun tradition that is gaining popularity with Mardi Gras observers in St. Louis."
Purple representing justice, green representing faith and gold symbolizing power. Plastic babies hidden inside!
Here's an easy king cake recipe with great photo illustrations of each step if you feel like making one!
