Pretty Paper Crown for homemade King Cake. This Epiphany Crown features the three wise mans. Kingcake is a type of cake associated in a number of countries with the festival of Epiphany at the end of the Christmas season - on January 6th. What started out as a dry French bread type dough with sugar on top and a bean inside 30 years ago, is now a sweet, sugary and iced Danish type dough that is braided with cinnamon inside and a plastic king underneath.

The cake has a small king or queen inside and the person who gets the piece of cake with the king figurine has various privileges and obligations on that day. The King for the day is allowed to wear this pretty crown!
