Laissez Bon Temps Rouler

We celebrated Mardi Gras a bit early this year. Our resident New Orleanian, Randy, was spending actual Fat Tuesday in London so we celebrated on Sunday instead. Randy made Crawfish etoufee and due to a last minute delivery issue, Barry and I made the King Cake. For being our first foray into King Cake, it turned out pretty well! I used this recipe.


The dough, after rising & before being rolled out. Chateau Diana Merlot was a key ingredient...our rolling pin.


The dough rolled out and sprinkled with cinnamon/sugar.


Ready for the oven!


Final icing touches and colored sugars ready to go


Our beautiful King Cake!
