Can I tell you something? I’ve never celebrated Mardi Gras and I don’t understand the draw of the party. But I enjoy a good cake pop and I know plenty of people who DO take part in Mardi Gras so King Cake Pops must be a good idea, right?
King Cake Pops Recipe for Mardi Gras –
Ingredients:
- 1 tube of Grand’s Cinnamon Rolls
Filling – - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar

Glaze – - 1 tub of icing from Cinnamon Rolls tube
Decorations – - yellow, green and purple sugar
Instructions:
- Preheat cake pop maker and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Cut each cinnamon roll into 5 equal sections (like a pizza)
- Roll each piece of dough into a ball.
- Fill cake pop maker cavities with cinnamon roll balls and bake for 3 mins 15 seconds to 3 mins 30 seconds. Check for doneness at 3 minute mark.
- Set aside to cool.
