A late French Epiphany cake

22nd February 2014 par a French girl cuisine 15 Comments

French epiphany cake recipe

Hello everyone! So many time that I have not written anything. I am really sorry about that I think I will be sorry for a long time. I was busy planning my wedding and now I am moving as well. Between you and me, I have some troubles to manage everything. That’s why I was letting you down.

So I baked this beautiful French epiphany cake in January and unfortunately didn’t manage to post it yet. But I love that cake so much than usually I bake it all year-round.

To make it more fun, buy a crown as well. Usually one of your guests, most of the time a child, but if a friend of yours want to do it that’s definitely not forbidden, goes under the table. You cut the Epiphany cake and you say “who wants this one?” moving your finger 4 times across the different slices of pie. You stop and the person under the table should say a name of one of your guest. You repeat the game until everybody has been served!

    Don’t feel bad! Nearly everyone needs to take a break from blogging sometimes, when life gets busy. Enjoy planning your wedding! Is the wedding date soon?
