Matt, I made your king cake recipe and gave it to someone and they told me it was the best they ever had. Thank you so much.

Made the cream cheese version today. My husband announced that it was the best king cake he had ever eaten. We will definitely make it again. Thank you!

So happy to hear this! Cream cheese was my mom’s favorite of the 3 too, glad you found the recipe and had success with it! Thanks for the feedback 😄

I made this with a lemon curd filling, and it was super tasty! The dough is very forgiving and easy to roll up and braid. Thank you!

I haven’t made his king cake before but will today. I made a lemon curd one last week but struggled with the filling coming out while rolling. What is the trick to keeping the fruit filling from squeezing out?

I've made 6 king cakes with this recipe. I've done the cinnamon sugar filling from the original video, a brown sugar pecan filling, strawberry cream cheese, and bananas foster. The cinnamon filling and pecan filling (basically just 2/3 brown sugar, 1/3 chopped pecans, + cinnamon and cloves) were my favorites. It's a great recipe, thank you!

Hi Matt. I make your king cake last year and got nothing but compliments on it, especially the bread. I am a baker and made 2 different flavor versions last year to test out. One was a pineapple filled and the other was a savory filled with a special recipe usinig boudin. OMG, the compliments were awesome. Giving it another shot this year and going to try YOUR cream cheese over mine and the chocolate. Looking forward to it. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe have a wonder Mardi Gras!!

@matthinkampcooks 11 ай бұрын

Thanks so much! This means a lot coming from a baker like yourself…I hope the cakes come out great this year…I was thinking of re-working the cream cheese filling because I think it could use a little more quantity than what I put, just a heads up if you do actually make that one. Let me know how it turns out!

Just made my first king cake and man was it labor intensive! Well worth it though! I will definitely try one of your recipes IF I dare to make another next year.

Sarah... Do you use fresh strawberries or strawberry preserves in the cake? and how did your finished product come out.

@TheSarahJoy Жыл бұрын

@@kellyrachal9869 hi there! I used about two cups of fresh chopped strawberries and like 3 TABLESPOONS of sugar simmered on the stove! I combined it with the cream cheese filling Matt listed in his recipes. To be honest, it was awesome… but could have used more filling! My cake come out HUGE. I swear it was 10 lbs after it was iced. Haha! I made a tiktok video that Matt did a duet with if you want to see the final!

I'm going for a chocolate filling with no cinnamon. My family loves cinnamon but unfortunately my mom is allergic so I may replace it with a small amount of tumeric 🤔

@matthinkampcooks Жыл бұрын

I think omitting the cinnamon will still make for a fine filling, the turmeric could help supplement, or maybe some cardamom! But either way I hope it comes out great and wish you the best! Thanks for the comment
