Happy New Year!
We just celebrated the New Year and Mardi Gras is already just around the corner! My sons LOVE King Cake, so I thought it would be fun to make our own. I looked online, but so many of the recipes seemed too complicated and I'm no baker. I was excited to come across this one made from canned cinnamon rolls and colored sugar.
My youngest is allergic to milk and eggs, so we just use the Pillsbury Seamless Dough Sheets or crescent rolls with sprinkled cinnamon to make his mini King Cakes.
Enjoy and Happy Mardi Gras!!!
