The French Tradition of Epiphany and the Galette des Rois

For the cooks amongst you, dive into a French tradition and make a cake for Epiphany. Celebrated on January 6th, it is a time for unity and indulgence. In France, it features the Galette des Rois, a flaky puff pastry with almond frangipane, and the Brioche des Rois, a citrus-scented crown adorned with candied fruits. Each cake hides a fève or trinket, making the finder "king" or "queen." Perfect for gatherings, these cakes combine tradition, hospitality, and the joy of shared culinary moments.
