Easy Mini King Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350 degrees.
• Take each biscuit, flatten and roll to oblong shape.
• Spread amount of butter or margarine on each biscuit.
• Combine cinnamon, sugar, and nutmeg in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle biscuits with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• Grate lemon peel and sprinkle over biscuits.
• Roll each biscuit beginning at wide end.
• Close each end forming a small donut shape.
• Place in round cake pan or cookie sheet.
• Bake 350 for 15-20 minutes. Cool completely.
• For glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and enough water to achieve desired consistency.
• Spread over cakes.
• Sprinkle with colored sugars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Open the cans of sweet roll dough and unroll the dough from each can into 3 strands. Working on a clean surface, place 3 dough strands side by side and gather them together to make one large strand. Fold this in half, and roll slightly to make a fat log. Repeat steps with the remaining dough. Place each log on the prepared baking sheet and shape to make a ring, overlapping the ends and pinching them together to make a complete circle. Pat the dough into shape as necessary to make the ring even in size all the way around. Cover loosely with foil.
• Bake in preheated oven until firm to the touch and golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes. Check often for doneness so the ring doesn't overbake. Place on a wire rack and cool completely.
• Place the cake ring on a serving plate. Cut a slit along the inside of the ring and insert a small plastic baby, pushing it far enough into the cake to be hidden from view.
• Divide the frosting evenly between 4 bowls. Stir 1 tablespoon of milk into each bowl to thin the frosting. Use the frosting in one bowl to drizzle over the cooled cake. To the remaining three bowls of frosting, stir yellow food coloring into one and green into another. Stir the red and blue food colorings together with the frosting in a third bowl to make purple frosting. Drizzle the cake with yellow, green, and purple frostings in any desired pattern. Dust the cake with multi-colored sprinkles and decorate with beads, additional plastic babies, curly ribbon, and other festive trinkets.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C). Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
• Stir brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon together in a small bowl until smooth.
• Remove crescent roll dough from the can and separate into 4 rectangles. Press the seams together tightly to seal the dough.
• Spread butter mixture evenly over each rectangle, not going all the way to the edges. Start at the bottom of each long edge and roll tightly into a 10-inch log, sealing any open seams. Bring the ends of each roll together to form an oval shape, making sure you press tightly to seal so the filling doesn't ooze out in the air fryer and burn.
• Place one or two at a time in the prepared air fryer basket without overcrowding.
• Air-fry in the preheated air fryer for 5 minutes per batch. Remove to a wire rack and cool.
• Meanwhile, whisk powdered sugar and milk together until smooth. Divide mixture among 3 bowls. Add food coloring to each bowl.
• Drizzle icing over each cooled cake and decorate with sugar or sprinkles. Let icing dry before serving, about 10 minutes.
