Best Ever Cinnamon King Cake


This got rave reviews from party guests and my coworkers. It's pretty darn perfect.

Make a batch of the dough for the Overnight Cinnamon Sticky Buns. Instead of slicing the rolled-up dough into rolls, however, touch the ends of the rolls to each other to form the roll into an oval shape. Let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes (or in the fridge overnight). Bake the cake for 25 minutes at 375 degrees.

Mix together the following ingredients:
2 Tbsp melted margarine
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanillla extract
4 Tbsp soy milk
2 tsp light corn syrup

Pour the glaze over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the cake with equal parts of yellow, green and purple sugar.

Once the cake has cooled, insert a dried bean, nut or plastic baby into the bottom of the cake.
