Quick and Easy Mardi Gras King Cake

I didn't realize until this morning that it was Fat Tuesday, I think that I was in denial about the fact that starting tomorrow I will give up something I love for 6 weeks. In the past I've given up caffein, sugar, chocolate and sadly enough swearing. With this being my year of eating healthy I feel like I've already given up so much that I'm having a hard time deciding what to give up;  luckily that's what Fat Tuesday is all about, eating and enjoying yourself before the Lenten season starts. I made up  this super easy recipe on my way to the grocery store this morning and luckily for me I picked up some cute Easter sprinkles yesterday at Target in their dollar section. Any level cook can make this, if you don't have sprinkles use food coloring to color frosting.

Ingredients
2 containers refrigerated cinnamon rolls
Frosting that comes with cinnamon rolls
Green, yellow and purple sprinkles
Flour for countertop

Follow picture tutorial below
