Celebrate Epiphany by making “King Cakes”
King Cakes are heavily cinnamon bread cakes that are decorated to represent the 3 kings and their gifts, then exchanged and shared with gusto! It's traditional to put a food-grade baby Jesus somewhere in the dough and hope to be the one who finds it in their slice. I'd make sure EACH of my kids "got Jesus."
This tradition is not widely known outside of New Orleans and parts of the South. They are very popular in Mexico.

Tip: Use pre-made dough and make loaves smaller/flatter so that they bake faster on Sunday morning. Shop online for baking “jewels” and edible gold dust (and such) to make the loaves special.
