It all begins when Johnny got me a slice of pie (don't know why they call it cake when it looks more like a pie to me) from work about two weeks ago...
One of his French co-workers ordered a Galette des Rois, or King Cake from a local French bakery store in celebration of the Epiphany. Here is the website to the origin of the cake: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_cake
I never am a big fan of dessert, but this pie is so yummy that I would skip the main course and go right into it. In fact, Johnny and I like it so much that we ordered one when the Cheungs was over; and they, as well predicted, also fell in love with it.
Everything is good about this pie except that the store would only make it in January. :(
Since Johnny and I both like it, I was determined to give it a try! 
Well, an hour after when I was done baking the pie. My husband called and told me that he just ordered the King Cake for me, and we are to pick up on Sat. Yeah... Thanks hun!
Anyway... my pie turns out ok., the sweetness and taste are pretty close except the filling is a little stiff I I told Johnny that I am going to keep trying until I get the right consistancy!!! :)
