About this activity
King cake is a type of cake associated in a number of countries with the festival of Epiphany at the end of the Christmas season; in other places, it is associated with the pre-Lent celebrations of Mardi Gras/Carnival. The preparation of this delectable French pastry includes a folding technique, light custard and almond cream, and baking! You will participate in each of these steps, learn the theory of the puff pastry, and make your own “Galette des Rois!” Each student will take home their own king cake and will have the pleasure of finding a hidden surprise inside!
