King's Cake

Tomorrow is the Feast of the Epiphany - the day many celebrate the 3 Kings, or Wise Men, arriving to meet the newborn King. I signed up for coffee and donuts at Church for tomorrow and thought it would be appropriate to bring a King's Cake, or Galette de Rois.

The King's Cake is a traditional French cake eaten on the Epiphany and includes a small token baked inside. A bean, a coin, a little doll ... And the child lucky enough to get the piece with the token gets to wear the crown that adorns the cake.


The cake I chose to make is a recipe by Nigella Lawson - so easy, do delicious, so unique. I included a token from Chuck E' Cheese inside. We will serve it after Liturgy with a crown along with the 24 cupcakes and babas a rhum.

My phone died so I have no pic for a bit. I will post tomorrow along with pics of my sarmale and ciorba.
