BEST King Cake Recipe

This New Orleans style traditional king cake is a tender, sweet brioche bread filled with caramelized cinnamon sugar filling, slathered with cream cheese icing, and decorated with green, yellow, and purple sugar. It's a symbol of Mardi Gras, a celebration full of king cakes, parades, and a fun time. Homemade king cakes are the perfect dessert/snack to impress a crowd for get togethers and the Super Bowl! Laissez bons temps rouler! For more crowd pleaser recipes, also try our jalapeño popper wonton cups and crab rangoon dip.
