King Cake

OMG I'm actually updating! I went AWOL for the last month because of reasons. Sorry.

I baked a King Cake yesterday in honor of Fat Tuesday. I don't pretend to be an expert on Mardi Gras (although I love the Jem episode: "Beware of zombies on Fat Tuesday!"), but I love a baking challenge. This particular cake is a yeast cake filled with raisins, pecans, and a cinnamon/brown sugar mixture. It was a relatively similar process to making cinnamon rolls, so I'll probably make some king rolls in a few days because it was delicious.

Traditionally a little plastic baby is placed inside the cake, but I didn't have one so I put a Lego man in it. Whatever works.
