This blows my mind. When I was growing up, we would have them in school and it was always a competition to see who would get the baby.

It's a Biblical tradition, dating back to King Solomon - you bake a baby into a cake and then attempt to cut it in half. At least, that's how ChatGPT described it.

Moved from Texas 5 years ago, my wife has a friend mail one to us. You won’t find it anywhere up here!

Ahhh. Brought back memories of when I tried King Cake at a pot luck for the first time and got the plastic baby in my slice. I still have no idea what it means.

Where I grew up we had an annual yam festival.
