Maggie Scales, executive pastry chef for Donald Link Restaurant Group, makes king cakes at La Boulangerie bakery in New Orleans, Friday, Jan. 6, 2017. People in this town take tradition seriously and few traditions are as important as King Cake. For many residents, the type of King Cake you buy isn't as important as when you buy it: Eating King Cake before the Twelfth Night (Jan. 6) is considered sacrilegious. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)
