New Orleans has been on my list for a long time and this just makes me want to go even more! So good to hear about all the vegan options. And the story of making the gingerbread house is really sweet, I’m glad you both persevered with it
thanks so much for reading! i hope you go and enjoy it--such an incredibly special place. ♥️ i was going off this morning about how annoying it is to return to california, where acquaintances and colleagues don't know to respond in kind with "and how are you?" after being in louisiana and showered with pet names all day by strangers
As a hopeless romantic, I love the story of you and B building the house together, and it turned out so cute! And thanks for the reminder that epiphany is coming, I had been meaning to muster some Galette des Rois energy this year, and of course looking forward to yours!
thanks julia!! and my pleasure, i can't wait to see what you bake! my only issue with this time of year is the finite time to eat (or at least post) many of these cakes. i'm always frantically googling which ones have some leeway in consumption dates. from my brief search, rosca de reyes seems mostly specific to epiphany, but galette des rois might stretch from the first sunday through remainder of january, by some accounts? and then of course louisiana king cake season is a little more drawn out.
i think i'm gonna start the season with a vegan attempt at nicola lamb's cross-laminated gdr from sift. i'd love to try a rosca de reyes sometime too... i'm looking at one with beautiful stripes of quince paste, and wishing that my quince paste attempt hadn't just broken my kitchenaid. 😂
Okay, I'm googling rosca de Reyes now!! And yeah, in something I just read it seems they eat galette des rois from late December through mid-Jan, so I'm not going to sweat it lol.
