The King is here! King Cake that is.....
King Cake |
King cakes date back to the 1660's. They are found in Latin, Spanish, and French origins but all have the same meaning. It's a celebration of the Epiphany and named after the three wise men that visited the baby Jesus on the eve of his birth.

Now, here's a neat trick for
easily preparing a King cake. You won't even need a mixing bowl!
1) Open the roll of Cinnamon buns and separate them.
Gently, un-roll each individual bun producing a long strand of cinnamon dough.
2) Using three strands of dough, braid them their
entire length. Repeat until all strands have been braided. Now, hide the baby
in one of the strands.
3) On a parchment lined sheet tray, place the braids
in a circular pattern and pinch the ends of the braids together to produce one
continuous circle.
4) Bake in a preheated 350 degree until golden and
when tapped, produces a hollow sound, generally around 16-18 minutes.
5) Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Glaze with icing and decorate with the colored sugar crystal. Now that was easy!
Enjoy the Mardi Gras season and
have a slice of King cake for me!
