Although King cake are enjoyed the world over, it wasn’t until I moved to Huntsville that I first heard of them.
It seems that everyone has their own traditions regarding the cake (the person who finds the baby buys the next cake, the person who finds the baby will have good luck, all plastic babies are banned for safety’s sake, etc.) but everyone agrees on one thing–the cakes are delicious.
Whether you want to to try a king cake for the first time or you are looking to enjoy an annual tradition, we have lots of great local options for getting your fix.
