[@PreppyKitchen]

For those of you who didn't see the announcement my cookbook is available for Pre-Order! Get your copy today! preppykitchen.com/cookbook/ ♥

[@jersey94133]

And major congratulations! I told myself that I would not buy and had no room for any more cookbooks….except in your case. I’ll find room for it somewhere. You’re worth it!

[@Proverbspsalms]

I sent my supervisor a video earlier. I think she’s already watched almost everyone because now she’s addicted.

[@johannagillenwater616]

We just placed our Pre-Order. Exciting times! Does it come with an audio reel ? Just kidding. But I do love the Audio on your videos - for real.

[@colleenhollenbeck6929]

I per order ur book I can’t wait cook with it

[@wrongturnVfor]

how do you make the dough without the dough hook? can you make it by kneading it for half an hour? lol

[@Housewarmin]

I'm from New Orleans and king cake is one of my favorite things because they aren't available year-round. There are so many types of fillings, icings, and doughs that people use. Cream cheese is my favorite filling. And yes, most king cakes come with a small plastic baby inside, usually hidden at the bottom so you don't eat it. Great recipe!

[@purplesidewalkchalk63]

I'm from originally from New Orleans. I've heard about a Vietnamese bakery that makes a very popular king cake...can't remember the name. Is it really that good? I've heard rave reviews.

[@purplesidewalkchalk63]

They still put the baby in the cake?!

[@Housewarmin]

@@purplesidewalkchalk63 Oh yes! Dong Phuong! They are really good. Their king cakes actually dont have a hole in the middle. The plastic baby comes on top for the customer to put inside themselves.

[@seankelley9347]

Rouses actually does king cakes year round. Most of the time at least.

[@catherinedurbin9298]

Yes! DP’s is amazing! Also from Nola but living abroad right now and having major Mardi Gras withdrawal. Also: cream cheese is def the best filling. J always feel cheated if I don’t get me some c/c filling! So I need to figure out how to make it with that.

[@Mswendys]

Hey John. It's so refreshing to see you bake and normalise being messy in the kitchen. It removes my anxiety of being a messy baker in my kitchen.

[@mirandabonvillain5064]

I can def call this recipe "BONA-FIDE", being from South Louisiana, I can vouch!! Great Job looks great!!!! Laissez la bon temp Rouler

[@conniewatson5010]

I'm here from Louisiana,. The king cake is popular in New Orleans,.. Give a shout out to New Orleans!! Louisiana...😁👍☺️😊👏💜😄😋🥳

[@BmaGrl]

Thank you for this recipe! I used to live in Mobile, & yesterday being Joe Cain day, I was REALLY missing a King Cake from the local supermarket chain bakery, Rouse's. But, it costs $60 dollars for them to ship one to you! So, it took me four hours, but I made this, instead, & it turned out PERFECTLY - EXACTLY right! It even SMELLS the same! And, it wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it was going to be. Just time consuming with all of the waiting for the dough to rise. But, good things come to those who wait!

[@labibaislam6497]

This looks so great John. I made your crinkle cookies a few months back and they have been my go-to recipe ever since!

[@trishhinkle7076]

John, that is the most gorgeous King’s Cake I’ve ever seen! It looks delish and you decorated it beautifully!❤️👑🍰❤️

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

Thank you for making the King Cake. Paczki is very popular in Michigan. They have a Polish suburb of Hamtramck, pronounced ham-tram-ick. My mother was Polish so I grew up enjoying all the wonderful foods. Dad was 50% Italian.

[@davidpavlich8939]

I haven't had a King Cake since I left NOLA (Mandeville) 6 years ago. I'm going to make this one this weekend. Can't wait!

[@davidpavlich8939]

Follow up; Success! Tasty, not the prettiest, but it was yummy.

[@americangirl8970]

I made this today for Fat Tuesday and it turned out perfect. I chose this recipe, amongst all the many recipes, as it didn't require yolks only, sour cream, or proving the yeast. It was soft , and smelled fantastic while baking. I saw in another recipe where a lady cut the rolled cinnamon dough in half AFTER rolling up to a tube , then twisted the roll together, and I did this , it was truly beautiful. I found the purple sugar at the local Mennonite store. Thank you , and HAPPY MARDI GRAS! 💜💜💚💚💛💛

[@Holmer188]

I have never made one of these cakes, but I am willing to give it a try after your easy step by step recipe. Thanks for sharing.

[@marjessaro]

I worked in a Middle School and every year the Spanish Teacher had the her students make this. It is so delicious.

[@ANADVENTUREWITHJESUS]

Made for Fat Tuesday. Followed the recipe exactly. Easy to follow directions. Beautiful dough after raising in Instant Pot. Perfect amount of filling. Everyone went back for seconds. Thanks for a delicious recipe John!!

[@chrissypena-leyendecker5263]

This is the most beautiful, soft dough i have ever seen! This cake was so delicious! Thanks for sharing!😍!

[@SupaThePink]

Nice to see such a faithful recipe! I'm a Louisiana native and I constantly see King cake recipes that are basically jelly doughnuts with sprinkles. (I do have to say that bavarian cream filled king cakes are delicious tho)

[@JustMe-ob3nw]

It looks perfect! You’re the best! Your recipes helped me a lot when I was taking care of my mom, who recently was diagnosed with chronic leukemia. She was not being able to eat much because of her treatment but one of the things she wouldn’t turn dow were your pancakes. I was making them for her breakfast almost every week then 🥰 - 🙏🏻 thank you for all you do 😘

[@MsMC-vr1jd]

My daughter wanted to make me your Buche de Noel for my birthday but she wasn't feeling well when the time came so her wonderful husband made it. It was renamed the Son-in-Log. 🤣 He did a great job and now he follows your channel, too. (He loves making bread.)

[@seankelley9347]

Being a Louisianian and working in a bakery, I love king cake, but OMG King cake season BLOWS.

[@Jeffffrey0902]

I used to work for a French company. At new year we had a king cake, and I got to be king for a day. The cake we had was made of puff pastry with frangipane filling, and I didn't know until now that there's also a bread version.

[@echsoulon]

My dough didn't look like it was rising but I still decided to proceed with the recipe and this came out much larger than I thought but was so delicious, soft and sweet. Everyone loved it!

[@jasonwehner7221]

John, as a New Orleanian, THANK YOU for not making a mockery of our beloved king cake. You nailed it. Definitely subscribed. Cant wait to see your other recipes!

[@TheThomasTribe]

I am from New Orleans and we do it a tad differently as far as tradition. There is a small plastic baby put into the cake (through the bottom) and whoever gets the baby in their piece gets the next king cake. But it is so amazing!! The filled ones are even better! Three of my favorites are cream cheese filled, Bavarian cream, and praline 🤤🤤🤤. This makes me miss home 🥰

[@editsbysk2830]

That’s so cool! What bakery is your favorite king cake from? I’d love to check it out

[@bridget2903]

Hi John! I made your zebra cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting for Valentines Day and it was a HIT!!! Love your recipes😊

[@onyxshhh]

It’s really nice to see something from Louisiana/French culture in one of your videos :)))

[@emmyjones7379]

It is 11:37pm on 2/28/22 and I just baked two of these King Cakes. One is for work and the other for home. Well there is only 1/2 of the home one left. The work one is being eyed but remains untouched 🤣. It smelled so good we couldn't resist a taste. Thank you for this recipe. I am going to enjoy playing around with the different variations. The dough is beautiful and the texture devine.

[@rainbowdillard8581]

Thank you! Your comment persuaded me to try this recipe out of the many I looked at this year. This was the 12th King Cake I've ever made, and I almost always enjoy the fun of the cake, but don't like eating it because it's usually ridiculously dry and hard. This recipe did not have that problem at all! It was moist, and a co-worker said it instantly reminded her of her favorite cinnamon rolls.

[@bdarci]

How did you know I was wishing for this recipe? You're a mind reader as well as a talented teacher, cook and dad.

[@tilly.]

I remember about this cake from French class in high school. Madame said no to the little king inside of the cake, so instead, she recommended using an almond or some other lil nut! how cute~

[@mountainsandcinnamon5003]

Made it today! The church group finished it off 😊. Thanks John and Happy Mardi Gras

[@LurkerSmurf]

I had no idea a King's Cake was basically cinnamon rolls in a wreath shape. So much easier than I was expecting!

[@candyme8980]

Neither have I. My family in New 0rleans would always ship us their homemade King Cake to us during this time.❤️ 🍰

Hi !! Preppy Kitchen Happy 😊 Tuesday evening. The king 🤴 cake looks delicious 😋 love the colors. Congratulations on you're cook book. You are such a awesome baker . I like the way you bake. I hope you had a wonderful 💗 Valentines Day 💝 good night 😴

[@jeanniepratt1326]

I am from New Orleans and it looks delicious. The "baby" is what inside the cake...Happy Mardi Gras

[@cherylmarieantierthewoo]

This loks as good as the king Cakes we bought in the south of france every year! I was just telling my husband it's too bad they don't have them in this part of Italy! i guess now i can make my own!

[@jenniferschwarz914]

Oh yum! It’s like cinnamon rolls just skipping a step! I can’t wait to try these! Thank you! ♥️

[@shawanasienko3506]

Definitely going to try this. I made this cake before but it was a different recipe from a different book and it came out to be a flop. The dough was separated by three separate pieces and then all of them put together so I'm going to definitely try this and see what happens. Thanks so much John I love your recipes I hope I'm able to get your book later. Keep on cooking

[@carolgranger9916]

John, I love your personality! Love watching your cooking!

[@ki7ay4e]

European here, never even heard of King Cake before but it looks so good I'm thinking of making it.

[@mailem6232]

My family loves king cake but they are a once a year thing. I am not great with pastry but it's a bucket list item for me to learn how to make them. I have watched about 10 other videos some were from famous chefs. I have not liked any of their results. Your is my favorite. Yours is beautiful and you really simplified the process. Soon you and I are going to bake.☺💜💛💚

[@kelleyhawk6595]

Oh I LOVE king cake! My fav is the cream cheese filled one!!!

[@annettekessler8183]

I’ve been baking your chocolate chip cookies very regularly and love them. Love all your recipes

The King Cake has always been so exotic to my Mayberry brain. I’m not surprised that you make it look so effortless. 😊

Yum! Looks great John! 😋😋

great job.. made it and came out perfect! many thanks

Aw you just made me miss hs French class food days.

[@sophiemorrison9820]

One of my favorite things to do in baking is working with sweet yeast dough. John, can you give me a source for the Mardi gras colored sugars? Thanks.

[@nicolejonesmk9883]

Are you able to store the dough in the fridge in between the step where it rises for an hour in the bowl and when you roll it out?

[@mariaemedinadiaz]

That cake looks 👌 so 😋 delicious and amazing 👏
