one the only-- we are getting our Mardi
Gras with Adina Anderson and we have got
all sorts of fun things to do crafts
food we have the cocktails already you
travel the country today's theme
obviously all Mardi Gras yeah I'm still
thinking about what I would indulge in
pasta anything with gluten because
that's like not in my diet okay so this
is a fun easy king cake that you can
make it home it's under five bucks is it
but you got to make sure you get the
sweet Hawaiian osan rolls I didn't want
a Navy there's such a nerd and then I
spread them out like that so I've
already got half of it done for you and
then the mixer and all this is gonna be
on my website creative lifestyles on TV
yay you look so easy Here I am with the
spoon like oh no no you gotta go get
your aggression out yes
and this is just cream cheese brown
sugar cinnamon and raisins and you mix
that up and you put that around the
middle and then while he's doing that
and we've got you know we'd made a
cocktail earlier but we want to make the
kids won't have fun right so let's do a
mocktail and this is just ginger beer
there's no alcohol in it but it kind of
gives it makes it fun and it's kind of a
take on a you know Shirley Temple with
lots of fruits and and you could put
apples in there and however you want
doesn't have to be perfect cuz you're
gonna be rolling it all up anyways so
and again what is in the mix oh it's
cream cheese brown sugar so it's four
ounces of cream cheese half a cup of
brown sugar okay about a half a teaspoon
of cinnamon and I you know those little
packages of raisins it says 1/4 cup so I
used just one of those little packages
of raisins mix it up really good I
suppose you have to have raisins in a
king cake you don't good yeah yep yes
like I can't do nuts I'm allergic to
nuts and you sometimes people put pecans
and things like that in it but I can't
do that so and then for the icing it's
just milk and brown and powdered sugar
and a little bit of vanilla and then for
the sprinkles we just used the Wilton
the green purple and yellow I was
thinking that you had to color the icing
the different
and I know you always got to have the
baby in there right right and so you can
get those at Party City had a bunch of
those you can do before after if you
want to know where it's at put it in
after so and then Jen's gonna start on
this fun mask I got these at Michael's
for a dollar these are so good expensive
making they come in all different colors
and then this is just the glitter glue
so this is something really fun that
kids can do and also this little wall
hanging is just this deco art paint and
I used a little toothpick here and these
are just cardstock and you could have
just white cardstock and paint that as
well and I just did a little polka dots
with the backside of our toothpick oh
and then I used some old Christmas
ribbon so all of this stuff you know
could be something you have around the
house already or even you know just run
to the craft store spend a couple bucks
these are really inexpensive too they
are yes and I just used the back of a
toothpick with the glue for the sequins
and the feathers okay um you do want to
let those dry a little bit or you could
use hot glue if you want to make it
quick because that obviously dry really
quick should fold the outside in first
now make that good cuz I'm eating that
one tonight you know I go home and bake
it and one really quick tip on that make
sure you do it on parchment paper so
that way it won't burn on the bottom and
that makes it easier to cook well not
just on the on the nonstick ride
anything like that
yes and then the bottle here is really
simple we've done this kind of craft
before but this is just the decoupage
and you just brush it on the bottle and
to get the label off a lot of people ask
me about that just soak it in some water
and if it doesn't come off completely
hmm and you can use a little alcohol and
a napkin and so after you do that you
just put so let me ask you guys you know
where Marty cross got started where it
started in the United States well yeah a
lot of it that's right yes yeah I
learned that last year it started there
and then it kind of moved along the
coastline in big ol party in New Orleans
and Galveston has a two week long Mardi
Gras party what I know will be there
next year okay your glitter on there and
you could use you know obviously your
green and purple and then this is just
the curly ribbon this is the fun part
right how long you been
by the way 25 to 30 minutes at 350 got
it so Mike's cutting his piece and all
of these are available on your blade
