Today, a knock on the studio door: The King Cake has come by messenger, straight from New Orleans!

The King Cake is a moderately tasty sugarfeast, a stomach-puncher of a cake, sopped in cinnamon flavor and frosting. It is a traditional Mardi Gras cake, which means that it comes pre-packed with nudity-inducing beads, and a big plastic cup for your booze.

Inside the King Cake, there is a plastic baby. Does the baby symbolize the new year? Unwanted pregnancies? The baby Jesus? Nobody knows! (Baby Jesus.)

You find the baby, you’re king for a year.
