Mardi Gras King Cakes in the house

After getting the boys off to school this morning (two hour delay is pesty but SO much better than a cancellation), I got busy making King Cakes for the Mardi Gras party I'm throwing for Ol's PK class tomorrow. I've got the beads, some masks, feathers, music and now these beauties. Did this for Jack's class when he was in PK and enjoyed it as much then as I know I will tomorrow. www.em-i-lis.com

This recipe is from Southern Living, and I liked the generous amount of yeasty, relative lack of sugar and the inclusion of sour cream in the dough. Can't wait to taste!
