Aqui para el dia de los reyes se compra un Galette des Rois se corta y se reparte. Es como un pie y arriba tiene una corona y adentro un munequito de plastico o porcelana que quien se lo saque al azar tambien se gana la corona y es el rey y/o la reina.
-La primera vez que lo trate fue en Suiza con Augusto y los Zosso, y dentro de ese le toco al papa y a la mama :) asi eran rey y reina, pero hasta donde tenia entendido solo era un munequito :P el de suiza sabe a cinnamon bun cake muy bueno.
-Despues lo hicimos aqui en la casa entre Michelle, Val, Charlotte y Yo. Pero esta vez estaba tematizada como para ninios y era de la pelicula Up, en frances La Haut. Mis hermanas querian ganar y yo tambien asi que nos comimos dos pedazos cada uno. Enfin estoy yo cortando y siento el CRASH habia dado al munequito de adentro, so lo movi u chin, lo corte y gane :D walala fue tan genial, brinque y me puse mi coronita y el munequito que me toco fue el malo de la pelicula :P
Dure siendo la reina el dia entero y no me quite la corona hasta que no me fui a dormir :D
Ahora para una mas detallada explicacion de lo que es en si, el Galette des Rois mi amigo wiki los va a poner al tanto:
A king cake (sometimes rendered as kingcake, kings' cake, king's cake, or three kings cake) is a type of cake associated with the festival of Epiphany in the Christmas season in a number of countries, and in other places with Mardi Gras and Carnival. It is popular in Christmas season in France, Belgium and Switzerland (galette/gâteau des Rois). The galette des Rois is made with puff pastry and frangipane (while the gâteau des Rois is made with brioche and candied fruits). A little bean was traditionally hidden in it, a custom taken from the Saturnalia in the Roman Empire: the one who stumbled upon the bean was called "king of the feast." In the galette des Rois, since 1870 the beans have been replaced first by porcelain and, now by plastic figurines;hese figurines have become popular collectibles and can often be bought separately. Individual bakeries may offer a specialized line of fèves depicting diverse themes from great works of art to classic movie stars and popular cartoon characters. The cakes are usually sold in special bags, some of which can be used to heat the cake in a microwave without ruining the crispness of the cake. A paper crown is included with the cake to crown the "king" who finds the fève in their piece of cake. While the gâteau des Rois Also known as "Rosca de Reyes" in Mexico."La Rosca de Reyes" in Mexico or the "Roscón de Reyes" in Spain is traditionally eaten in January 6, during the celebration of the "Día de Reyes" .“La galette des Rois” (the cake or "wafer" of the Kings) is a cake celebrating the Epiphany and traditionally sold and consumed a few days before and after this date. In modern France, the cakes can be found in most bakeries during the month of January.A figurine, “la fève”, which can represent anything from a car to a cartoon character, is hidden in the cake and the person who finds the trinket in their slice becomes king for the day.
