How to cook deliciously - Super Easy Mardi Gras King Cake

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

2. Stage

Unroll dough from each can in a long strand; fold each strand of dough in half, and roll slightly to shape it into a fat log. Shape the logs together on the prepared baking sheet to make a circle, overlapping the ends and pinching them together. Pat dough into shape as necessary to make it even in size all the way around. Cover loosely with foil.

3. Stage

Bake in preheated oven until firm to the touch and golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes. Check often for doneness so the ring doesn't overbake. Place on a wire rack and cool completely.

4. Stage

Place cake ring on a serving plate; cut a slit along the inside and insert a small plastic baby, pushing it far enough into the cake to be hidden from view.

5. Stage

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. To the remaining three bowls of frosting, stir yellow food coloring into one and green into another. Stir red and blue food colorings together with frosting in a third bowl to make purple frosting. Drizzle cake with yellow, green, and purple frostings in any desired pattern. Dust cake with multi-colored sprinkles and decorate with beads, additional plastic babies, curly ribbon, and other festive trinkets.
