Galette de Rois

A galette de rois (King's cake) is to celebrate Ephiphany. The galettes are all over Paris at the moment - they have like a maripan filling with puff-pastry outside. They all come with a paper crown and they each have a ceramic trinket baked inside them (this one had a rolling pin). Whoever gets the trinket in their slice of cake gets to choose who becomes King for the day!
Rach bought one for us to share for breakfast (healthy!), one of her au pair kids got the trinkets and I was lucky enough to be chosen as King!
