King Cake in a Bread Machine

Make your Mardi Gras king cake using your bread machine to mix and knead the dough. Fill the dough with a buttery cinnamon-pecan filling, bake, and decorate with a frosting glaze and the time-honored purple, green, and yellow colored sugar. It's traditional to stick a little plastic baby or a bean into the cake before baking. The lucky one whose slice has the prize gets to make the king cake next year.

The King Cake is a New Orleans tradition that involves a pastry, a small plastic baby, and a party. The King Cake is baked with a small plastic baby hidden inside, the person who gets the slice with baby in it has to host the next party. Make sure to buy a new small plastic baby so you can get the full effect from this cake! Sprinkle with purple, green and gold sugar, or decorate with whole pecans and candied cherries. Note: Be sure to tell everyone to inspect their piece of cake before they begin eating it. To be extra careful, use a plastic toy baby that is too large to swallow, or hide an orange wedge or 3-4 pecan halves inside the cake (avoid items that may hurt someone's teeth) and then simply place the honorable toy baby outside on the top of the cake for all to see and adore!

Prepared sweet roll dough and colorful frostings speed up the cake baking process for a Mardi Gras King Cake. A small plastic baby inserted into the side of the cake will bring good luck in the coming year to whoever discovers it in their slice. Beads, additional plastic babies, curly ribbon, and other festive trinkets can be used to decorate the cake.
