Great recipe to celebrate the Mardi Gras Season with the little ones. Let them make and decorate their own King Cake. This cake is a great project! Here is another fun thing: Have the children decorate a shoe box like a Mardi Gras Float usung beads, glitter, and foil all with the three colors of Mardi Gras - gold, green and purple.

List of Ingredients




2 packages Crescent Rolls
cinnamon and sugar mixed together
green , gold and purple food color
melted butter
1 cup sugar for coloring
beads and plastic baby




Recipe



On pastry sheet spread out the two rectangles end to end(do not separate at perforations) use a rolling pin to roll out each one to a large rectangle.

Brush with melted butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Roll Jelly roll style twist to form one half circle repeat with rest of dough and twist to make rest of circle pinch together like the crown for a king. Transfer to baking sheet (pizza pan is ideal but rectangle will work) bake as directed on crescent roll instructions...

Colored Sugar: Place 1/3 cup sugar and a drop of the food coloring in a jar or zip lock bag. Shake to evenly distribute the color. Repeat for the other colors. After the cake is cooked, sprinkle rows of colored sugar or use powdered sugar and milk mixed together to make a glaze. The cake may be filled with cream cheese, jam or pecans, if you fill it spread a very thin layer as it gets thick when rolled up.

After the cake has cooled off, decorate with various Mardi Gras beads on top the cake. Hide the baby at this time but be aware that it can be a choking hazard. Maybe before any one takes a bite, have them look to see who has the baby. The one who is served the piece that has the baby has to have the next party or provide the next cake or wins a prize in the Mardi Gras Spirit. Have Fun!
