Yesterday was our first cooking class in Paris. It was very cool! We took the Metro for the first time to get there. There were 7 other kids in the class besides Dinon and me. We made Kings' Cake because it was the day after Epiphany, when French people eat Kings' Cake (Gallette des Rois). Kings' Cake is a round pastry with puff pastry outside and almond custard or chocolate inside. Each Kings' Cake has one small porcelain toy baked inside it and whoever gets the toy in their piece of cake is the "King" or "Queen" for the day. It was very difficult for Dinon and me because we don't speak French but the Chef gave the class in French. I am looking forward to going back for more cooking classes later this month!

Malcolm and Dinon,
I am so excited to have my first chance to read your blog and to see pictures of those yummy looking King's Cakes. Mr. Lawson showed me the awesome picture of you both jogging around the Eiffel Tower. I wish Mrs Brault and I could be with you. It is really fun to stay connected with you.
Happy New Year to you and your parents.
xoxo Mrs Welch

I enjoyed your blog. I will share it with the girls.
Malcolm,
After this trip you will have to ask your parents to take you to New Orleans, Louisiana, specific Mardi Gras where King Cake is consumed in great volume! I am envious of your cooking classes.

Wow! That sounds so good! I love to cook and would love to have the recipe when you return.

Who got the toy?
