Mardi Gras King Cake

It's that time of year, Mardi Gras is here! I decided to make my own King Cake this year, with my handy bread machine to thank for all the grunt work. I just used the standard cinnamon roll recipe, but instead of slicing the dough into individual rolls, I just looped it into a circle and made it a king cake. Then I colored the icing green, gold and purple (mardi gras colors), and frosted it up. I used crushed pecans and extra filling as well, to make it extra decadent.
