For best results, ensure your yeast is fresh and active. Proofing the yeast separately in a small amount of the warm water can confirm its activity before adding it to the bread machine. If you don't have colored sugar, you can create your own by mixing granulated sugar with a few drops of food coloring. A traditional King Cake also includes a small plastic baby figurine hidden inside before baking. Be sure to inform anyone eating the cake about the hidden figurine to avoid any surprises!
