| | From Custom to Coffee Cake: The Commodification of the Louisiana King Cake |
 | | Sometimes the cake is filled with a cream cheese substance, but the filling is wholly contained within the dough. | | | The king cake has traditionally been maligned as "tasteless" and "dry" because the importance of the cake was its role in the Epiphany custom, not its food value. | | | Every bakery reported that the plain cream cheese filled king cake is their most popular filled cake. |

| | History of the King Cake |
| | King Cake is traditionally served with chicory coffee' as Coffee' au lat'. | | | King cakes have gotten more and more fancy over the years, so now bakeries offer iced versions (where there's classic white coffee cake glaze on the cake), and even king cakes filled with apple, cherry, cream cheese, or other kinds of coffee-cake fillings. | | | The history of the King Cake began in 12th century France where the cake would be baked on the eve of January 6 to celebrate the visit to the Christ Child by the three Kings. |

We haven't found that the babies melt, so we just roll them into the cake when we form the cake. |
