📖 Key Information
A king cake, also known as a three kings cake or a baby cake, is a cake associated in many countries with Epiphany, the celebration of the Twelfth Night after Christmas. Traditionally made with brioche dough, in most cases a fève (lit. 'fava bean') such as a figurine representing the Christ Child, was hidden inside. After the cake is cut, whoever finds the fève in their slice wins a prize.
