With Mardi Gras in two days I wanted to try to make a King Cake. This was my first time making one and was very pleased how it turned out. Also, my first time baking with yeast. Seemed like it took for forever to rise, I was ready to throw it out and start again, but I waited and all in all I think it turned out better than I thought it would. This is the recipe I followed with one exception, I added a glaze made of powdered sugar, milk and a little lemon juice then added the colored sugar. http://www.tastebook.com/recipes/576423-Authentic-Mardi-Gras-King-Cake
