Oasis Supply 000451-144 Mardi Gras 3D Baby Topper for King Cake

A King Cake is a delicious tradition of the Mardi Gras season in New Orleans. Traditionally it's round or oval, like a crown and has a baby hidden inside. During King Cake season, King Cakes are everywhere in New Orleans. If you go to a party, a parade, or almost any casual gathering, there's likely to be a King Cake. What's the Deal with the King Cake Baby? Whoever gets the baby in his or her slice of King Cake, is traditionally the king (or queen) of the party and sometimes gets to pick a royal partner to help rule. Getting the baby also supposedly brings good luck.
