LET 'EM EAT CAKE

So, In France there’s this thing called La Galette des Rois (literal translation: The King’s Cake) to celebrate the new year, and it’s the funnest thing ever!  It involves eating a delicious French pastry (with almond filling) and, if you’re lucky, being crowned!  Each Galette has a tiny porcelain charm, if you find it in your piece you get to wear a crown!  The king or queen then has to find her queen or king by dropping the charm in their glass!

The other super cute thing is that the youngest person in the group has to sit under the table where the galette is being served and choose the order in which the guests are served.

Yesterday our class had our own Galette des Rois with champagne to toast the new year…


For all of you who have been reading, I’d like to toast you - and I wish you all the best in the coming year!

xoxo
