King Cake is a traditional dessert for Mardi Gras and I found this simple recipe variation that is quick and easy with pre-made Pillsbury cinnamon rolls (or you can make your own cinnamon rolls from scratch). Most King Cake recipes require baker's yeast which I try to avoid because I always seem to be in a hurry.
Traditional Mardi Gras colors are purple (justice), yellow (power) and green (faith), so I sprinkled the King Cake with these colored sugars and found roses died in the same trio of colors available seasonally from Fifty Flowers shipped from Texas.
I found last minute decorations at Party City which complemented the meal.
Lent is a spiritual time for our family by giving up something I/we love for lent in order to focus more on being thankful for all of God's provisions. So this festive Fat Tuesday dinner marks the eve of a short 40-day sacrifice in light of God's bounty to us each day.
