What does a Saturnalia cake, a Galette des Rois, a Dreikönigskuchen and a Rosca de Reyes have in common? Join us for an exploration of the rich history of everyone’s favorite Mardi Gras treat – King Cake.
Matt Haines, author of best-selling books, The Big Book of King Cake, and children's book, The Little Book of King Cake, will guide us through the thousands-year history of king cake and how the unique ways the custom is celebrated around the world led to our current Louisiana tradition.
King cake samples will be available, along with signed copies of Matt’s books for purchase.
