A family King's Brioche, served around Epiphany (France). Brioche familiale des Rois, préparée pour fêter l'Epiphanie (France).
A Family King's Brioche, served around Epiphany - especially in Provence (France) - when the Three Wise Men visited Jesus. This traditional cake is a butter enriched yeast dough, which is presented ring-shaped and topped with candied fruit. A charm is also hidden inside so that the person who happens to get it in his piece, becomes "king" or "queen" for the day and wins a paper crown which is immediately put on his (her) head. Brioche familiale des Rois, préparée pour fêter l'Epiphanie - en Provence surtout (France) - quand les trois Rois Mages visitèrent Jésus. Ce gateau traditionnel est une légère mais riche pâte à la levure, au beurre et aux oeufs; il est présenté sous forme de couronne décorée de fruits confits. Une fève est aussi cachée à l'intérieur de telle façon que celui qui la trouve est proclamé "roi" ou "reine" du jour et gagne une couronne de papier que l'on place aussitôt sur sa tête.
