    Great recipe to celebrate the Mardi Gras Season with kids.


    Crescent Mardi Gras King Cake

    2 packages Crescent Rolls
    cinnamon and sugar mixed together
    green , gold and purple food color
    melted butter
    1 cup sugar for coloring
    beads and plastic baby for the Mardi Gras

    On pastry sheet spread out the two rectangles end to end.
    (do not separate at perforations)
    Use a rolling pin to roll out each one to a large rectangle.
    Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and
    sugar.
    Roll jelly roll style.
    Twist to form 1/2 circle.
    Repeat with rest of dough and twist to make rest of circle.
    Pinch together like the crown for a king.
    Transfer to baking sheet (pizza pan is ideal but rectangle
    will work) Bake as directed on crescent roll instructions.

    Colored Sugar:
    Place 1/3 cup sugar and a drop of the food coloring in a jar
    or zip lock bag. Shake to evenly distribute the color. Repeat
    for the other colors. After the cake is cooked, sprinkle rows
    of colored sugar or use powdered sugar and milk mixed
    together to make a glaze.
    The cake may be filled with cream cheese, jam or pecans, if
    you fill it spread a very thin layer as it gets thick when
    rolled up.
    After the cake has cooled off, decorate with various Mardi
    Gras beads on top the cake. Hide the baby at this time but be
    aware that it can be a choking hazard. Maybe before any one
    takes a bite, have them look to see who has the baby. The one
    who is served the piece that has the baby has to have the next
    party or provide the next cake or wins a prize in the Mardi
    Gras Spirit. Have Fun!
