Fat Tuesday

Galveston celebrates Mardi Gras for two weekends. It is the next biggest Mardi Gras celebration place after New Orleans, or at least I read that a few different places. People even decorate their house for Mardi Gras here, and the stores are stocked up with Mardi Gras supplies including having lots of King Cakes. I decided that I wanted to make King Cake this year and celebrate too.

 I didn't actually make King Cake, more work and more cake than I wanted so I did these King Cake Knots. They did not turn out well for me. I couldn't get the dough to unroll so I was messing with it and rolled it out and just overworked it so they came out kind of deformed and they were smaller and I didn't think to adjust the time so they were over done as well. Oh well, I still ate some.

Next year I will make them again and they will hopefully turn out better.
