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.

Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the pictures on this blog loading? I’m trying to determine if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.
Nice read, I just passed this onto a friend who was doing some research on that. And he just bought me lunch since I found it for him smile Therefore let me rephrase that: Thank you for lunch!
