I've wanted to make a King Cake for years and just never take the time. There is ALWAYS something more pressing that needs attention. Nothing really changed this year but I was determined I was going to get one made. I didn't have the sugar for the top. I used table sugar and mixed it with food coloring but I didn't have time to let it dry. It would have needed a day or two. I had an hour or two for it. I should have left it in the bag in put a hair drying in on cool. ha! The lighting is awful but I did it!
