It's officially Mardi Gras Season!! Whoever gets the baby in their slice of king cake is said to have extra luck all year long. Each King Cake Baby Starry is made of ceramic and is the size of a traditional king cake baby (about 1.5 inches including the crown). They are food-safe, but we recommend keeping them as keepsakes. Hiding ceramic babies in cakes has led to many cracked teeth!! In the olden days maybe this didn't matter so much but these days we're all about oral health! If you've ever been to New Orleans and are missing The Big Easy, King Cake Baby Starry is a great reminder of the joy of NOLA. And if you haven't been yet, Baby Starry will bring a bit of authentic NOLA charm to you!
