"Chef Ziggy bangs out stunning French king cakes (galette de rois) at the European Maple Street bakery each year, a slightly less sweet version. Layers of puff pastry laced with almond cream seem refined compared to the decadent icing and sugar-topped puffy (and often filled) brioche versions, but there is a good measure of decadence tucked within the delicate layers of the French king cake. The bakery does a brioche cake as well, and usually offers mini cakes with a croissant base, a rare but highly-sought offering." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
