Easy King Cake

  • preheat oven to 375 degrees F, prep a cookie sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Arrange the cinnamon rolls on their sides, forming a flower/ring. Press them down lightly. Bake according to package instructions, until no longer gooey. Turn out on a plate to cool.
  • Mix the included icing with 2 oz of room temperature cream cheese.
  • Once the cake is cool, spread the icing on top and decorate with festive sprinkles (and don't forget to hide the baby figurine!).
