king cake recipe

Don’t roll up the logs too tight when you roll up the logs, as the pecans and raisins might rip through. Putting the glaze on while the cake is warm gives a nice drizzle effect and helps the glaze spread evenly over the cake. If using sanding sugar, make sure to put it on immediately after the drizzle, otherwise, the glaze will dry, and the sugar will not adhere. If you want to get wild, you can make a cream cheese icing instead of the powdered sugar glaze.
