Transform canned cinnamon rolls into a beautiful king cake with this simple recipe.

2 (17.5-ounce) cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing*

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Gently separate cinnamon rolls, making sure they are even and still rolled tightly; pinch ends to seal, if needed. Refrigerate icing packets. Place cinnamon rolls, one at a time, on prepared pan to form a circle, overlapping about 1 inch, making sure seam is down against parchment and covered by next cinnamon roll. (Final width of circle will be 10 inches.)

3. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool on pan for 15 minutes. Remove from pan, and place on a serving platter. Serve warm or at room temperature. Cover with icing and sanding sugar before serving.
