Mardi Gras is quickly approaching. Celebrated on Tuesday March 4 this year, the holiday is one big party: think music-filled parades, colorful beads, exposed chests (free the nipple?), and CAKE. ½ cup of warm water; 1 Envelope 2 ¼ teaspoons or 7 grams of dry active yeast; 4 cups 565 grams or 20 oz all-purpose flour plus 2 or 3 Tbsp. more for dusting; ¾ cup of sugar 150 grams if you want sweeter add ¼ cup extra. Divide frosting evenly between 4 bowls. Stir 1 tablespoon of milk into each bowl to thin frosting. Use frosting in one bowl to drizzle over cooled cake. Combine yeast and water in a small bowl, stirring until dissolved, and set aside until yeast is proofed. In a large mixing bowl combine the milk, sugar, and butter, stirring until dissolved. Step 1 For the dough: In a medium bowl, stir together the yeast, water, and 2 teaspoons of the sugar. Let the mixture stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Step 2 In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the yeast mixture, milk, butter, eggs, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup of the sugar. Bake both rings in the preheated oven in the upper and lower thirds until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, or when a thermometer inserted into the center of the dough reads 190 F, about 25 minutes, rotating sheet trays 180 degrees and top to bottom, halfway through baking to ensure even browning.

This simple spiced yeast dough gets filled with a cinnamon sugar filling, twisted into a ring, and adorned with colored sugar. Add a tiny plastic baby to pull the tradition full circle! It's Mardi Gras time! Mardi Gras conjures up images of fun, frivolity and feasting and no Mardi Gras celebration would be complete without a colorful King Cake.

To make dough: In large bowl of stand mixer, mix 2 1/2 cups flour and the yeast with paddle attachment on low speed until mixed together.

King Cake, a vibrant and festive treat, is synonymous with Mardi Gras celebrations, particularly in Louisiana. The cake’s rich history, unique flavors, and eye-catching design make it a centerpiece for gatherings during the carnival season. Americans usher in the new year with lifestyle resolutions galore, but many people across the globe — particularly those from predominantly Catholic countries — celebrate the calendar change It, too, bakes with a surprise inside but here is where the similarities end. King Cake is baked with either a dried bean or a plastic baby. It is then covered in sugar glaze and sprinkled with sugar in purple, green and gold (the colors of Mardi Gras). The person who finds the "surprise" has to provide the King Cake next year. King’s Cake and Rosca de Reyes are seasonal treats, served for 3 Kings Day (Epiphany) and for Mardi Gras, and they’re delightful desserts we wish we could get all year long. King Cake, or King’s Cake, is what this sweet would be called in a New Orleans bakery, and Rosca de Reyes is what it’s called in Mexican and Central American bakeries.
