King Cake is a special bread with fruit and sugar that comes in the shape of a crown.
Inside the cake, a baby Jesus doll is hidden, whoever finds the doll will receive good luck and must throw a party on Feb. 2.
La Bonita Supermarkets have seven locations throughout the valley and say they sell more than 1,000 King Cakes during the holiday season.
