I was watching a foodnetwork show on Mardi Gras food, and saw someone making a King Cake. I did a little research, and decided to give it a try. I used an Emeril recipe. I decided to fill mine though, with cream cheese and cherry fillings, because I saw another one made that way. This cake was much easier to make than I thought it would be, I had no problem with the yeast and shaping it, and baking it on a pizza pan was perfect! I couldn't find a little plastic baby to put in, so I used a walnut. I'll be bringing this to a Superbowl party on Sunday!
