Because it is Mardi Gras tradition to have the baby in the cake or as you call it a ring. The reason for the baby is, WHO EVER GETS THE BABY, HAS TO BUY THE NEXT CAKE. HAPPY MARDI GRAS!!!
The Danish ring is called a King Cake. Happy Mardi Gras!
Whoever gets the baby has to buy the next King Cake. It is an old tradition during Mardi Gras.
