We decided to participate in a Louisiana/Mississippi tradition this year. We made a King Cake for Mardi Gras, which is the Tuesday before the beginning of Lent. I found a recipe online for making the dough in my bread machine, which made it really easy. The tradition is to make this round yeast roll and decorate it in the Mardi Gras colors, which are green, purple, and yellow. You're supposed to put a little baby Jesus doll somewhere in the cake, but we didn't have one, so we didn't do that this year. As you can see, it was a lot of fun!
