Excellent! I usually make my king cake from Mam Papaul’s mix (which is excellent for a mix). I may actually try one from scratch this year. BTW, try heading to St. Louis for Mardi Gras somtime. It’s 2nd largest after N.O. in the USA. It’s lots of fun & you do get the bonus of the Mystic Krewe of Barkus parade where everyone dresses their pets up for a pet parade.

Thanks for the great recipe! I’ve been too scared to try my own ’til now. King Cake was my first love in college and responsible for most of my college pounds. I can’t wait to introduce my Indiana coworkers to this calorific treat.

Well, you certainly can tell you two are into Mardi Gras.

Here’s a tip — I use the small food processor to color my sugars. Make at least 1 cup of each — you WILL be making another king cake.

When using the super rapid rising yeast — cut back (my recipe called for two packets). My cake rose 15 min., then I punched down, divided into two balls and rolled, then filled and shaped and let rise for 30 min. In the oven the cake actually rose much, much more and closed up the “crown” — the hole in the middle. Next time (tomorrow!!) I’ll use only 1 packet of yeast.

I really miss Mardi Gras — we’ve always lived where its been celebrated. Now we live in Tennessee — they just don’t get it.
