Galette des Rois

In France January 6th marks the celebration of Epiphany, the coming of the 3 kings or the Three Magi: Balthazar, Melchior and Gaspar bringing offerings to Jesus Christ, and as most traditions in France we celebrate with food, in this case it is the Galette des Rois (Almond filling encased between 2 sheets of puff pastry).

The bakeries go crazy over this and you can find galettes from December until February.

It is an opportunity to "draw kings" (tirer les rois) for Epiphany: a bean or fève is hidden in the cake and the person who gets this fève is the king/queen of the day and has the right to wear a fantasy crown. The recipient of the fève has to offer the Galette the following year.

By tradition it is the youngest of the guests, hidden under the table, which determines the distribution of shares.

You can share in the French tradition by ordering now your very own Galette des Rois for $46 (10.5" diameter), ready to bake.
