King Cake and Good Weather

"Laissez les bons temps rouler" or in English, "Let the good times roll"


Where I am from, Mardis Gras is tradition. So sadly living in Auburn, it's not that big up here. So this is as much MArdi Gras as I'll get this year. I have decided to take on making a King Cake from scratch. A king cake is a cinnamon-roll like cake inside with sugary icing with traditional Mardi Gras colored sprinkles on the outside.


Here is my journey...


First time I have ever used dry active yeast


First time I have ever had to knead anything!

My bread, sitting in the warm sun.

Before...

After... it's alive!!!


The recipe I used made two!

Uhm...can you say yum!

Finished product

Well that was my King Cake experience. If I were to do it again, I would use different icing. I am taking it to work tomorrow. So let's see how other people like it!
