I lived in New Orleans my whole life until recently and desperately was in need of a king cake. I could have paid $40 to have one shipped so I thought I'd give this recipe a try. UNfortunately, this did not taste like a N.O. king cake AT ALL. I think it was the nutmeg and too much cinnamon. The next day, the cake was rock hard. I used the bread machine which may have had something to do with it but I don't think so. Next time I'll spend the $40.
