Have You Gotten Your King Cake Yet?

January 5, 2025 By Lisa Grigsby

A King Cake, also known as a three kings cake, which is associated with King’s Day or the 12th night of Christmas and Fat Tuesday and can officially be  eaten on January 6th in honor of the Epiphany which historically marks the arrival of the three wise men/kings in Bethlehem who delivered gifts to baby Jesus.  A blend of coffee cake and cinnamon roll, king cake is usually iced in yellow, green and purple – the colors of Mardi Gras — and is frequently packed with fruit fillings and decadent cream cheeses. Hidden within these season sweets also lie a special surprise: a plastic king cake baby to continue the fun.  Whoever finds it must either bring the next cake or throw a party, thus sparking an unending round of food and fun.

Melody over at elé Cake Company says they are  “ready to bake these delicious seasonal treats starting Monday, January 6th, in celebration of Three Kings Day. We learned our craft from a bakery in the deep south, and we can’t wait to make these special cakes again!”

Here are the flavors they offer:

  • Apple
  • Bavarian Cream
  • Berry Deluxe (Raspberry, Strawberry, Blueberry with Cream Cheese)
  • Blueberry
  • Blueberry Cream Cheese
  • Cherry
  • Cherry Cream Cheese
  • Chocolate
  • Chocolate & Bavarian Cream
  • Cinnamon Cream

  • Lemon
  • Lemon Cream Cheese
  • Mississippi Mud
  • Pecan Praline
  • Raspberry

  • Raspberry Amaretto
  • Strawberry

Pricing starts at $20.99 and you can place your order on their website.

You can also order a King Cake at Beavercreek’s Cake, Hope, and Love.

 Their King Cakes are made fresh with love, featuring our signature sweet dough, a delicious cinnamon filling, and topped with festive icing and sprinkles.
They’re perfect for Mardi Gras celebrations or anytime you want a little extra indulgence!
 Order yours now. CH & L can also ship these nationwide.

Ashley’s Pastry Shop in Oakwood also does King Cakes. Made with a rich, brioche dough and a wide variety of fillings, including cinnamon, chocolate and cream cheese. The cake is baked without a center, like a traditional bundt cake, but has a glaze topped with gold, green and purple sprinkles

Dorothy Lane Market is another good place to pick up a King Cake. Therer cakes come with festive beads and a small plastic baby, to hide in the cake.  They usually stock them closer to Fat Tuesday, which this year is March 4th.

Laissez les bon temps rouler!
