A delicious sweet yeasted dough, topped to make a dessert tray the life of the party-complete with a baby inside. While the base of the King's Cake is the same, Sheila explores the different decorating techniques for each holiday. There are also some tips included in our YouTube channel. Please feel free to share this episode with other purple/green/gold party revelers.

We use a pastry style sweet dough, which is rich and dense. Not really cake like more bread like in texture.

½ cup of honey

3 cups of white flour bread flour

1 cup of whole wheat flour bread flour

1Tablespoon of salt

1 Tablespoon of vanilla

2 Eggs

¼ cup of butter softened

2 packages of yeast or 1 ¾ Tablespoon of dried yeast.

1 ½ cups of milk warmed

Make the dough into a long rope like shape much like you would for a baguette. Flatten out the roll, and put brown sugar and a cinnamon mixture in the middle.

1 cup of brown sugar

1 Tablespoon of cinnamon

For the Three King’s Day, we will egg wash and then lightly sprinkle additional cinnamon and sugar on the rounded loaf. For the Three King’s loaf, we decorate with dried fruit and then bake the loaf. We don’t frost the loaves either after coming out of the oven. For King Cakes, we frost than add the colored sugars of yellow, purple and green. The colors signify yellow/gold for power, green for justice and purple for faith. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes until the bread reaches 180 degrees.

For King's Cake, paint on a layer of powdered sugar/vanilla and water.

1 cup of powdered sugar, 1 Tablespoon of vanilla

Add a tablespoon of water at a time to get a runny pancake batter consistency.

Sprinkle each segment liberally with yellow, green and then purple sugars. You alternate each color.
