Galette des Rois

I have been the king, nay, queen, three times in just as many days.


How can you not love a cake that is traditionally buttery, filled with frangipaine, and hiding the feve (literally bean, here, a charm that's in the cake), and comes with a paper crown classier than any BK biddy dare wear?


And for three days, I have gotten the feve, meaning, I get to parade around in the crown and fell a general sense of superiority.


I'm going to start a feve collection. Tres francais a friend says. Even though the Epiphany, the 12th Night has come and gone, I can eat this galette through the end of the month. Wish me almonds, and tell me to write down all my goals for 2008 while the future looks so golden.
