The feast of the Epiphany is celebrated on January 6^th. This event marks the onset of Mardi Gras also called fat Tuesday, this starts the beginning of king cake season.

This cake mix is a bit different from the common Duncan Hines cake that has two layers with the icing in middle. Cinnamon bun or cinnamon roll can be obtained by taking a small amount of dough and then, baking it. Then, just take a little more of the same dough and mould it in the shape of crown or some other circular shape. This is known as king cake mix. It resembles more of giant cinnamon doughnut. But, king cake mix is little much more than this. You have to sprinkle some sugar over the thick layer of white icing with purple, gold and green or any other Mardias Gras colors.  However, besides this, one can have some other variations like strawberries, praline or cream cheese.

Next step is the placing of small plastic baby. This is the perfect religious feast that allows you to have the great treat and also satisfies your appetite for dessert. The circular shape of king cake mix represents a crown for the king of kings. The baby (plastic toy) is symbolic of baby Jesus.

One requires several things for the perfect king cake mix.
