My last King Cake came out a bit dry and wonky so I made Pain Perdu with it. Next weekend I'll use the remaining amount for bread pudding.

McKenzies King Cakes are the best to make pain pardu with. My kids always ask me to get those king cakes just so I can make lost bread lol.

I was very disappointed with the dry Gambino’s King Cake we got but this might well redeem it.

Oh man. I do this with challah all the time never thought about king cake, but they’re barely different.

Of course, the king cake rarely stays around long enough to get stale in the first place.

I do this too, it’s excellent!!! I do take most of the sugar or icing off first though.

I'll let you in on a little secret - soak in an egg wash with rum/brandy and cinnamon...then throw it in the air fryer instead of a skillet.
