DENVER — It's not really Mardi Gras until someone is almost accidentally eating a plastic baby.

This past week, we took a trip to Englewood's Trompeau Bakery to learn how to make the Fat Tuesday staple, King Cake.

Per tradition, there is a plastic baby that's put inside after it's baked. Whomever finds it in their slice is said to receive good luck, but also must prepare next's year King Cake.
