Yesterday on the way to work I decided on the spur of the moment to stop in at one of the local bakeries and grab a King cake. This one will be from Frances' bakery and is the first one of the year for us which some years we have had many and some years only a couple. For the first one of 2013 I chose to get a cream cheese filled version. This one going to be a good one. I could smell it through the plastic bag it was in. .
When I got to work I brought it into the office because it was getting ready to pour down raining and the dampness in the air was going to make the sugar and icing topping get all melty gooey and stick to the bag. So, I brought it in and put it on one of the counters. I have to say several times during the day I was very tempted to open it and cut off a big chunk to eat. Instead I fought off that craving and it wasn't long after eating dinner that I had to have a slice.
Sweet delicious goodness!
As you can see in this picture the cream cheese filling is actually a filling baked into the cake. Many others put the filling in the center of the top of the cake and cover that with the icing and colored sugars.
This is a really good King cake and so far no one has gotten the baby yet. I'm thinking I'll cut a slice to bring with me to work for a lil snack later today. With my luck I'll probably get the baby and have to buy the next King cake.
I'm thinking about making my own homemade king cake this weekend.
