Le cupcake quotidien

Nothing is better than a cupcake in our daily life, simple if you are in a hurry, rich if you feel a little cold in a winter afternoon, with strawberries on a perfect beach in Greece.. The mother of a good friend of mine in Italy used to call "generi di conforto" all those wonderful cakes that you'd bring with you when you go on a trip or just on your sofa.. for me cupcake is a little bit like that.. something good, cute.. that will come with you on your daily life!

La Galette des Rois

Epiphany, (from Greek "manifestation”) which falls on 6 January, is a Christian feast day that celebrates the revelation of God the Son as a human being in Jesus Christ. In this day we commemorate the visitation of the Biblical Magi (les Rois Mages) to the Baby Jesus. In France we use to eat the 6 and all the month of January a special cake called “la galette des rois” created to celebrate this event.

Is a cake made with puff pastry and almond cream, inside is hidden a little ceramic toy, if this toy will be on your slice of galette you’ll be the king! Of course a paper crown is provided with the cake..
