Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I find this picture, posted by Stef, slightly creepy and yet totally fascinating, all at the same time. I know that it's tradition to bake trinkets into the King Cake, so it's not quite as strange as it could be, but it's still a little nutty to see a plastic baby climbing out of a cupcake. For the story (and recipes!) on these cupcakes, check out Stef's post on her blog, Cupcake Project. Apparently, these babies won her third place in a King Cake Bake-off. Good job, Stef!
If you want to see your cupcakes (or other baked goods) up here on the Food Porn Daily, make sure to head over to the Slashfood Flickr page and join the group. All the cool kids are doing it!

(Yes, I know the green is part of the deal, but still. Ick.)

Since I grew up with the Rosca de Reyes (king's cake in Spanish) having a baby in it I never gave it a second thought until now that you've pointed it out.
...the tradition that to me was sort of odd was when I found out that some of my European friends wrap every day coins instead of having the plastic baby!
I mean, the baby is clean, freshly purchased, comes inside a packet...the coin, even if it's washed, it's been everywhere!
Thanks for pointing out the recipe, at work, those of us that celebrate the Magi, are exchanging Rosca experiences and recipes. I'll send them this way on Monday!
