You may be thinking of the Beignet (pronounced "ben-YAY"), the square shaped fried dough similar to a donut that is topped with a deep layer of powdered sugar.

Or...

The answer you are looking for may be the "King Cake". Louisiana style King Cake is a cinnamon-roll like cake inside with sugary icing with traditional Mardi Gras colored sprinkles on the outside. The cake has a small trinket (often a small plastic baby, sometimes said to represent Baby Jesus) inside, and the person who gets the piece of cake with the trinket has various privileges and obligations (such as buying the cake for the next celebration).
