    ...and I've never tasted a king cake that was so awful (and I've tasted plenty! I even reduced the amount of lemon juice in the icing, as recommened in these reviews, but the icing was the best part. I followed this recipe very carefully, but it's so thick, dry and tasteless that my family turned their N'Awlins noses at it and suggested that I throw it out. Do yourself a favor and search for your New Orleans recipes at the Times-Picayune Newspaper's web site http://www.nola.com/food/

    Made this for a Mardi-Gras themed Girl Scout camping weekend, and it was a big hit. Took some time to prepare, but hey, it is a cake! Kids enjoyed finding the baby. I would make this again for a mardi gras party!

    I should have stuck with my momma's recipe on this one. I love all of Emeril's recipes most of the time. Very few things have been less than 5 stars. This one sadly was. It was too dry. Not what I am use to with my southern roots. I like them to just melt in your mouth. This one you had to chew on for awhile.

    I could not find citron while I was in Hawaii, so I used cannied pineapple and papaya from a trail mix, and I think it worked. We enjoyed it so much that I made another one the next day. AZlso I didn;t want to mix food dyes for the surar crystals so I used cookie sprinkles that comes in a mulity color mix.

    I love Emerils show so much I try and take my breaks around the time he is coming on. and then I video type his shows to.
    Thank you Emeril for being you and Thank your Parents for God blessing them with you.

    I tried Emeril's recipe last year at Mardi Gras time and it came out so good, that I baked more up for each of my grown children and have orders to bake them again this year! I did not use lemom for the glaze, but vanilla instead and according to the reviews, I'm glad I did! I couldn't find the purple sugar anywhere, so I used blue, but who cares? The taste was there and that's all that mattered.

    This is a huge hit with my co workers, although I always get the baby because none of them bake!

    I have had rave reviews of this cake- it is a little difficult to do and I have had it totally flop once, but I will definately make it again.
