A couple of years ago a passenger on one of our flights brought a king cake for the crew. It didn't look as nice as the one Laundress pointed out, but it kept us from getting hungry on our trip!

At the end of the flight he asked us who got the "baby"? The number 1 F/A did, so he told her that she has to buy the crew a King Cake next year!

These cakes are terrific with coffee of tea.

Interesting.

My ethnic group does coins in the bread. Tradition is this is how money was hidden from the tax-collector Wwaaaaaaaaaaayyyy back.
