- Kings Day Crown Cake: We used our regular pizza dough and added a cup of castor sugar to the flour. When the dough was ready we rolled out in the shape of a large donut and left it to rise. Once it had risen we baked it on the oven at 180 degrres Celsius until a skewer came out of it clean. Once it had cooled we drizzled a paste of icing sugar and water over it and topped the icing with candies that looked like crown jewels. Quick, easy and done!!!

Hi Sherri, I have been gathering calendar posts for quite a while now… I used to do them week by week but I am trying to do them month by month and generate a calendar resource packed with interesting links and fun that we can use for school. I hope you all have a fun weekend!!!
