Cake fit for a king
Premium French patisserie brand Café Pouchkine has launched a galette des rois, or ‘kings’ cake’, for the festive period.
The ‘galette des rois’ is traditionally eaten in France on the Epiphany and throughout January.
Café Pouchkine’s kings’ cake is made with butter-based puff pastry filled with marzipan cream and amaretto and topped with a thin layer of crispy caramelised biscuit.
Unlike other cakes which must be heated, Café Pouchkine’s kings’ cake can be eaten at ambient temperature.
An individual cake has a recommended retail price of €8. A cake with four servings retails for €26 and €49 for eight people.
The cakes will be available from 3 to 20 January.
