Sharon King Cake was a tradition long before New Orleans became a city.

在新奧爾良成為一個城市之前，莎倫王蛋糕就已經是一個傳統。

The cakes name comes from a biblical story of the three wise men visiting Baby Jesus on the 12th Night or Kings Day, celebrated on January 6.

蛋糕的名字來自於聖經故事中的三個智者在1月6日的第十二夜或國王節探望嬰兒耶穌的故事。

Today, King Cake is available between King's Day and Mardi Gras Day, the day before Lent begins.

今天，國王蛋糕在國王節和狂歡節之間，也就是大齋期開始的前一天可以吃。

The origin of the king cake itself varies on who you ask, but is most commonly believed to have started in France or Spain and was popularized during the Middle Ages.

國王餅本身的起源因問誰而異，但最普遍的說法是始於法國或西班牙，並在中世紀流行。

其實我們之所以叫它們東西，是因為大多數麵包店會在上面加餡，就像加草莓一樣。

They'll just make a regular king cake.

他們只會做一個普通的國王蛋糕。

Add strawberry filling on top so we actually put the filling inside the king cake and roll it and then bake the filling in it so the flavor generates throughout the entire king cake instead of just being placed on top.

在上面加入草莓餡，所以我們其實是把餡料放在國王蛋糕裡面，然後捲起來，再把餡料烤在裡面，這樣整個國王蛋糕的味道就會產生，而不是隻放在上面。

The final and possibly most important, ingredient in the king cake is a plastic baby baked into every cake.

最後，也可能是最重要的，王者蛋糕的原料是每塊蛋糕中都烤制了一個塑膠寶貝。

你知道，你是國王，你知道，這... ...它就像蛋糕中的大獎。

Before the baby was popularized, many Mardi Gras Cruz would hide a bean in their cake, and whoever ate the peace with the being inside would be the king or queen for that years Mardi Gras parade.

在寶寶普及之前，很多狂歡節克魯茲會在蛋糕裡藏一顆豆子，誰吃了裡面的和平，誰就是當年狂歡節遊行的國王或皇后。

Today, you can't buy a king cake without a plastic baby.

如今，沒有塑膠寶貝的王者蛋糕是買不到的。

I remember getting the baby a couple of times when I was a little kid, you know, at school it was like, Oh, that was that was popularity gold.

我記得當我還是個小孩子的時候，我得到過幾次孩子，你知道，在學校裡就像，哦，那是... ...那是人氣黃金。

That was pretty cool.
