Stir until the butter has melted.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">Remove from the heat and toss in two ice cubes, then stir and let this cool to 100 degrees F. The ice cubes will help the mixture cool, and add a little moisture to the cake.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">Put the starter into a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Crack the two eggs and start the mixer. Add two cups of flour, followed by the cooled butter mixture. Mix well, then add 3 cups of flour, one cup at a time. Knead the dough for 2 minutes.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, and use your hands to knead the dough for 10 minutes. Add more flour when needed.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Shape the smooth dough into a ball, and place it into an oiled bowl. Cover the dough and let it rise until doubled. This may take longer depending on the overall temperature of your kitchen.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Meanwhile, combine \u00bd cup of sugar and 1 \u00bd teaspoons of ground cinnamon in a smaller bowl. Set this aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Once the dough has doubled, punch down the dough and divide it in half. Place one portion of the dough onto a lightly floured work surface, rolling it out gently until it\u2019s about 28 inches by 10.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-8\">Spread \u00bd of the butter on the rectangle dough, and smother this with the saved cinnamon-sugar mix.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-9\">Put a plastic baby, a large dried bead, or even a plastic coin, into the rectangular dough. Roll the 28-inch side of the soft dough into a jelly roll. Form it into a ring, making sure the edges are down, and around the center of the roll. The seam shouldn\u2019t be on display. Moisten and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat the process with the other dough.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-10\">Cover the king cakes and allow them to rise until they\u2019ve doubled in volume. Bake for 15-20 minutes in a 375 degrees F oven, until the cake, is nice and golden,<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-11\">In a separate bowl, whisk together the confectioners\u2019 sugar, milk, and lemon extract.

A slice is given to everyone at a party, and whoever has the piece of king cake that contains the \u201cbaby\u201d is crowned \u201cking\u201d for the night.

I felt tired all the time (especially after eating bread and other foods made with yeast), I wasn\u2019t motivated to do anything, had trouble concentrating throughout the day, my abdomen was bloated and I was like a trumpet on steroids \u2013 basically, I was quite a wreck.
