Kings Cake, the French version!

It can be difficult in January coming back to the reality of school and work after a nice winter break.  But the French tradition of enjoying Kings Cake in January helps the January blahs!  The French Kings Cake, called La galette des rois, is two circles of puff pastry filled  with almond filling, called frangipane.  The French hide a special porcelain figurine, called une fève, in it.  The person who finds la fève is the king or queen of the day and wears a crown.  The French enjoy eating the Kings Cake all throughout the month of January even though it is traditionally eaten on January 6th, the Epiphany, to celebrate the 12th day of Christmas.  
Here is Madame Rebecca's foolproof Galette des Rois recipe!  Bon appétit!
