Rum, butter and Donkey Skin

(I swear next year I won't talk of the Epiphany's cake -fingers crossed behind-)

Today we celebrate and share the "Twelfth night cake" (gateau de la 12ème nuit?!), that we call here "galette des rois" (Kings' Epiphany cake).

By the way, I really do not enjoy eating the kings' cake from the 1st of December to the 31st of January. It's one day and one day only, to me. And trust me, it tastes much better 1 day only! :)

Do you have this tradition where you are?
The cake is yummy and the one who gets the charm (fève?) hidden inside will wear the crown and be declared king or queen (one of the most frustrating moment for the kids when they do not win! A good experience)

We all know the story about the 3 kings, but there's a legend which says that this tradition comes from the day Donkey Skin let her ring fall inside the *love cake* she made for her prince.





You can try the very easy recipe here.Don't forget the rum, huh!!!!



edit :

And guess who got the charm yesterday,hmm?! :P
