Fun and games with food, but don’t joke. French will never joke about food 😉 Gallette des Rois is a traditional dessert ‘game’. There’s a hidden ‘toy’ of sort inside the cake. The person who ends up with the toy is the King. This is a traditional eat for the first New Year weekend; modern way: any time in January or even in December.

 

How to play?

Send the youngest person to climb under the table (or if the person is not a child, blindfold the person)

Cut the cake in equal pieces

Let the youngest decide who gets which piece e.g. first = Marie, second = Pieter etc.

For safety reason, do not attempt to waffle down your piece of cake. Eat slowly to find the toy 😉

*The idea is to have surprise feeling in your mouth

Whoever finds it is the king and gets a crown 😉

You can either bake your own or buy it from the supermarket (France). Please note to only use food safe toy or toy designed for gallette des rois.

  1. I do believe all of the concepts you’ve presented on your post. They’re really convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are very short for beginners. May you please lengthen them a bit from next time? Thank you for the post.

  2. It’s my opinion that a home foreclosure can have a significant effect on the applicant’s life. House foreclosures can have a Seven to ten years negative impact on a client’s credit report. The borrower who has applied for a home loan or just about any loans as an example, knows that the actual worse credit rating will be, the more tricky it is to acquire a decent personal loan. In addition, it might affect a new borrower’s power to find a quality place to lease or hire, if that will become the alternative houses solution. Good blog post.

  3. I’m amazed by the quality of this content! The author has obviously put a great amount of effort into researching and organizing the information. It’s inspiring to come across an article that not only provides valuable information but also keeps the readers hooked from start to finish. Hats off to her for creating such a remarkable piece!

  4. Hey there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  5. Я оцениваю тщательность и точность, с которыми автор подошел к составлению этой статьи. Он привел надежные источники и представил информацию без преувеличений. Благодаря этому, я могу доверять ей как надежному источнику знаний.
