Mardi Gras King Cake Made Real Easy is a real short-cut to making a Cake that can even go so far as having Yeast in it, if you make it from scratch. You have to have your Family and Friends eat some for Mardi Gras! And, you hope some worthy kid will find the little plastic child/baby doll hidden in the cake, for very good luck! The icing can be done by kids you know, with lots of sparkling sprinkles in wild designs all over the cake! It's all just for fun....!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and grease a baking/cookie sheet. Open three cans of refrigerated sweet dough roll and unroll and pat them into three ribbons of dough, from each can, for a total of nine ribbons of dough Place the three side by side and pick them up together to make one large strand. Fold the dough in half and roll into a fat log of dough Do this with all three sets of dough. put the three logs on the baking sheet and shape to make a ring of all of them and pinching the ends to make a complete circle. Bake the ring/circle until firm to the touch and golden brown, which should take just an hour. Cool on a wire rack. Put the Cake ring on a serving plate and place the small plastic baby deep inside a slit in the cake, hiding it from view.- now, divide two large cans of creamy vanilla ready-to-spread frosting into four bowls. thin each bowl's frosting with a tablespoon of milk or 1/2 and 1/2. Stir food coloring into each bowl to suit: greens and reds and yellows and purples are the usual Mardi Gras colors. Drizzle the cake with the icings in any patterns you want and then toss multicolored sprinkles all over the place...some like to insert the Mardi Gras coins all over the top, too, or throw beads all over the cake. It's your call!
