Every year starting on January 6th, la galette des Rois (the
cake of the three kings), made of almond cream paste and a
buttery crust, is sold in patisseries all over Québec and
France.
These yummy cakes celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany, when as the story goes,the 3 wise men followed the star and came to bring their presents to baby Jesus.
A surprise is hidden inside of the cake, and whoever gets it, is crowned king and gets to choose his queen. . .(or Queen and gets to choose her KING !) . . .
The cake
is usually sold with a gold paper crown ,well in France it is. . .in Québec I cut them out of gold cardboard ,great fun and the children love it !
Nice way to end up the holiday season.
