A porcelain baby symbolizing Jesus is traditionally hidden in the dough before baking. The person who gets the baby (symbolizing luck and prosperity) is king for the day. That person is also responsible for hosting next year’s Fat Tuesday party and providing the cake. To avoid a choking hazard, you can stick the baby in the frosting on the side of the cake. I don’t bother coz I already know who’s going to be baking next year’s cake regardless of who gets the baby.
