What if you can score some of the Mardi Gras Blue Bell Ice Cream? Haven't seen it since two years ago in Mississippi.

The cake has a small trinket (often a small plastic baby, said to represent Baby Jesus) inside (or sometimes placed underneath), and the person who gets the piece of cake with the trinket has various privileges and obligations.

Not quite. It's an extra expense for them to set up the facilities, have the judge and support personnel on hand to issue the warrants, etc.
