Kings cake

To mark the occasion, Le Cordon Bleu Master Chefs have created this Three Kings' Cake which follows the traditional version served in Northern France. A bean, or “fève” is hidden in the cake and the person whose portion contains the bean is crowned king or queen for the festivities. The cake differs from one region to the next, with different countries taking slightly different approaches, but Parisians know it as a flat, round puff pastry cake filled with a thin layer of almond cream.

King cake has been a dish that has been traditionally made and eaten on different Catholic feast days, including 3 Kings Day (the Epiphany) and also Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday). There is a baby Jesus hidden inside the cake, it is shaped like a crown, and now it generally features the New Orleans colors of purple, green, and yellow.
