Baking for Epiphany - Getting ready for Epiphany, this pretty Parisian girl takes a galette, a thin cake from the oven. On Epiphany Day, January 6th, French families gather for a simple meal and the galette is served as dessert. A little porcelain crown is concealed in the hard cake, and the one who finds it is named king or queen of the day and invested with a crown like the one the girls is wearing. December 26, 1955.
