Bravo French Stars ✨

Happy Crêpe Day!
Earlier this month, our French Club Stars designed their dream crêpes to celebrate La Chandeleur.
Look at those delicious crêpes designed by both children at Homer and Braywood First School 🤤

Voici les reines! 👸 👸
Here are our épiphanie queens! 👏
We had great fun finding all about how French people celebrate the 6th January. We also enjoyed some lovely brioche, not sure anyone kept any to take home for their parents! 🍰

Bonne galette mes amis 👑
I cannot wait for the children at Braywood First School and Homer First School to find out all about this fun AND yummy celebration! ❤️

This photo shows a 𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗼𝗶𝘀 (King’s cake), a traditional pastry eaten in France every year at the beginning of January. It is linked to Epiphany, a holiday that celebrates the visit of the Three Kings.

The cake is usually made with puff pastry and filled with frangipane, a soft almond cream. What makes it special is what you cannot see. Inside the cake, the baker hides a small figurine called a fève. When the cake is shared, whoever finds the figurine in their slice becomes King or Queen for the day and wears the paper crown placed on top of the cake.

There is a strict rule when cutting it. The youngest person sits under the table and decides who gets each slice, to keep things fair. Today, most bakeries sell hundreds of these cakes, and many families eat more than one during the season.
