Bread Winners Cafe & Bakery is preparing for Mardi Gras with several festive treats for the occasion.

The bakery, which has two neighborhood locations at NorthPark Center and Inwood Village, has five sweet options available. Neighbors can choose from King Cake, filled croissants, iced sugar cookies, cupcakes and and cake balls.

Mardi Gras is one holiday when finding a plastic toy in your food is a good thing. The tradition stretched back to medieval French and Spain when a prize was baked into cakes. Later, it was brought to colonial Louisiana.

Whoever received the prize inside their cake slice (a nut, coin or ring at the time) was made king for the day.

Bread Winners Mardi Gras-themed treats can be ordered with 48-hour notice by calling 214-754-0099. Treats will be available at all four locations for walk-in sales starting Feb. 17.Â
