Hard king cake in progress (this is half a cup of water plus yeast. wow yeast it's super effective)
mixed (but not kneeded) dough
kneeded dough. gotta let it grow. time to clean the kitchen.
UPGRAYYDD
filled and made into ring shape!
Gotta let this rise for a while, then time to bake it 🤞
Embiggen!
Looks OK. It's oddly stiff, and as you can see it sorta exploded, but I don't feel too bad about it. Probably should have left it in 5 to 10 more minutes to get it browner. Will decorate in about 90m
As it cools it is losing structural integrity. I am getting hungry (forgot to eat today and saving room for Gumbo.)
Iced
Decorated. Will def get proper sugar next time.
Added pecan as faux baby because I forgot to get a baby.
Inside is a little moist but probably because of filling?
