La Fete Des Rois…

Interesting work day today – we had a scheduled luncheon - always fun since we have a leisurely lunch and there is never a rush to get back to work.

Dessert was a surprise twist - a traditional French cake that is used to celebrate the Epiphany.

In every cake, they bake a porcelain figurine – if you find it, you are the King/Queen for the day! (and you hope you find it before you bite into it….)

Anyway, we had four cakes and the first three were found rather quickly so I did not think much of it….

Until staring back at me when I removed a layer of crust was a figurine that looked like the Baby Jesus you would place in a Nativity scene!!

Since it’s a new thing for me, I had to do some research….

So, now that you have read all about it….

All Hail Me – Queen Dizzy Vizzy!!!


(LOL – like that would EVER work!)
