Galette des Rois Workshop — Celebrate Epiphanie the French Way
Step into one of France’s most beloved New Year traditions: l’Épiphanie. Celebrated on the first Sunday of January, it marks the arrival of the Three Kings—les rois mages—and brings with it a pastry that every French household looks forward to: the galette des rois. Flaky, golden puff pastry wrapped around a creamy almond frangipane, with a hidden fève inside… it’s simple elegance at its best.
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll recreate this iconic galette completely from scratch. Together, we’ll laminate dough, craft the frangipane filling, assemble, score, and bake your own royal showstopper. Every step is guided and hands-on—no shortcuts, no store-bought pastry.
You’ll leave not just with your own fresh-baked galette, but also with the stories behind the tradition, the confidence to recreate it at home, and maybe even the crown if you find the fève.
Perfect for home bakers, francophiles, or anyone who loves learning through delicious tradition.
