Directions:
In a sauce pan combine sour cream, sugar, butter and salt. Stir often until butter melts. In a small bowl combine water, yeast and 1 tablespoon raw sugar, let stand for 5 minutes. Beat sour cream mixture, yeast mixture, eggs and 2 cups flour on medium speed until smooth. Reduce speed and slowly add the rest of the flour by cup until a soft dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface kneed until smooth and elastic. Place in a well greased bowl and cover with oiled plastic wrap. Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size. Punch down and divide dough in half. Roll each piece out on a lightly floured surface to 22×12 rectangle. Spread filling (See below) over dough leaving a 1″ border. Roll up each piece of dough like a cinnamon roll and press the ends down. Transfer to a baking sheet and bring the ends together so it looks like a giant doughnut or wreath. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place for 20 minutes while oven is preheating to 375. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until golden. Slightly cool cakes on wire racks. Spread glaze (See below) over the top of the cakes, and sprinkle patches of yellow/gold, green, and purple sprinkles on top. Allow to cool all the way.
