People eat king cake during Mardi Gras as part of the celebration leading up to Lent, particularly in New Orleans and other areas with strong Carnival traditions. The cake, typically decorated in the colors of purple, green, and gold, symbolizes royalty and the visit of the Three Wise Men to the baby Jesus. A small figurine, often a baby, is hidden inside the cake, and the person who finds it is expected to host the next king cake party or provide the next cake, adding a fun social element to the tradition.
