SYMBOLS of the King's Cake SYMBOLS of the king’s cake During this time of year, one of the most beloved traditions is that of the King’s Cake. What began as a New Orleans tradition is now celebrated all over the United States. As part of the celebration of Mardi Gras, it is traditional to bake an oval cake in honor of the three kings—the King’s Cake. The shape represents the unity of faiths. Each cake is decorated in the traditional Mardi Gras colors of PURPLE (representing power), GREEN (representing justice) and GOLD (representing faith). This is representative of a King’s jeweled crown. Traditionally, a small baby, symbolizing the baby Jesus is baked into each cake. King’s Cake parties are held throughout the Mardi Gras season. In offices, classrooms and homes, King’s Cakes are sliced and enjoyed by all. Like the biblical story, the “search for the baby” adds excitement as each person waits to see in whose slice of bread the baby will be discovered. The Baby Custom holds that the person who finds the baby (symbolizing the baby Jesus) in their slice will be rewarded with good luck, and that person is also traditionally responsible for bringing the King’s Cake to the next party. Our Great Harvest King’s Cake is made from sweetened cinnamon dough and covered in frosting and colored sugar. A small baby and 3 strands of Mardi Gras beads are included with each King’s Cake. Due to safety concerns, we choose not to bake the baby within the cake, but you can easily do this before serving your King’s Cake. The small King’s Cake serves 6 people and is $12.95. The large King Cake serves 12-18 people and is $24.95. Availability - Order now We will have these available by order only from now through Mardi Gras, Feb. 28. Additionally, there will be a limited number of King Cakes available on Tuesday, Feb. 28, for those who were not able to place an advance order. For customer convenience, we will be open and have King’s Cakes ready at 7 a.m. Feb. 28, so that you may pick up your order before heading off to work..

  • The Parish Messenger February 2017
    The Parish Messenger February 2017 The Newsletter of the People of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church State College, Pennsylvania With God’s help, we the people of St. Andrew’s seek to know and accept God’s love in Jesus Christ for all people and to witness to God’s love in word and action. LAISSEZ LES BONS TEMPS ROULER aka THE SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE SUPPER So, in New Orleans, it used to get really hot. Really, really hot. Just like today, but imagine it with no refrigerators. Now, imagine it is the day before Ash Wednesday and for the next 40 days at the stroke of midnight you are going to not only be on your best behavior, but you’re going to give up beignets, eclairs, macaroons, St. Honore cakes and well, basically, you’re not going to eat anything good. So, you’ve got hot, no refrigerator and nothing good to eat. Now what are you going to do? You’re going to party like it’s going out of style, and you’re going to use all the flour, sugar, eggs and butter you have because after 40 days (remember the no refrigeration thing), it ain’t going to be good. And what do you get when you combine those ingredients? Pancakes and king cakes! Therefore, St. Andrew’s will be doing its part to let the good times roll and host a Shrove Tuesday, or Fat Tuesday as they say in The Big Easy, pancake supper. It will be held on Tuesday, February 28 from 5 PM- 7PM in Canterbury Hall.

  • A Review of the Malaysia's Heritage Delicacy Alongside with The
    Ismail et al. Journal of Ethnic Foods (2021) 8:19 Journal of Ethnic Foods https://doi.org/10.1186/s42779-021-00095-3 REVIEW ARTICLE Open Access The Malay’s traditional sweet, dodol:a review of the Malaysia’s heritage delicacy alongside with the rendition of neighbouring countries Norsyahidah Ismail1, Muhammad Shahrim Ab. Karim1* , Farah Adibah Che Ishak1, Mohd Mursyid Arsyad2, Supatra Karnjamapratum3 and Jiraporn Sirison3 Abstract The Malaysia’s cultural heritage is authentic, unique and colourful with various local cuisines of different races and cultures. It is mainly originated from the Malay culture being the largest ethnic group in the country. The Malays themselves have contributed to many local cuisines ranging from appetiser, soup, main course and dessert. However, some Malay heritage foods have almost been forgotten and jeopardized in quality. This is especially happening to the Malay sweets or desserts which have gradually become less appealing to the younger generations. They are not even familiar with Malay foods, let alone consuming them. Among the popular Malay heritage foods in Malaysia are lemang, ketupat, rendang, wajik and dodol. Dodol specifically has been listed as one of the endangered heritage foods in Malaysia. Preserving the Malay cuisines is part of sustaining the Malay culture and this should begin with a great amount of knowledge and understanding about any elements within the culture itself. This article highlights a nostalgic and evergreen Malay’s traditional sweet, known by the locals as dodol by discussing its history, different types and names of dodol, as well as the recipes, preparation, cooking methods and packaging.
