Instead of the traditional king cake make these little knots using refrigerated dough. If you like you can make pull-apart king rolls. Just make the rolls,roll in the icing and place them in a bundt pan and bake 30 minute until done. When you remove it from the pan frost with white icing and sprinkle each bump with sugar sprinkles, purple, blue, pink, yellow, green, etc....
