As a family of 4 piglets, we've just demolished 2 cakes in double quick time, each containing 2 ..........
Well, as the other thread went south, I've had to start a new one.
It was one thing to watch for kings, but now I need to look out for elephants too? This is just too complicated.
You're choking!?
My husband found a queen in ours, and now he is refusing to be a queen for the day. Spoilsport.
What do you wear on your head when you find an elephant? Your trunks?
My son managed to find the king in three different cakes today... I think I'll make him play Euromillion!
- "Why do elephants have big ears?"
- " 'Cos Noddy wont pay the ransom ."
Herr Frau ETH said that my being queen today wasn't any different than any other day...
I'm so jealous. I want an elephant instead if the boring old porcelain king that I got in my piece tonight.
I did check and the one we bought from the baker's did have a label on it warning about the little porcelain object inside. ( a pre printed sticker in three languages) I wouldn't have bothered looking had it not been for the earlier thread but then I knew about the tradition and I never read the labels on bread normally in any case.
For the last few years we ate/eat two of these together with a neighbour. I am always the first to find the king. Now I am banned from first choice and second choice but still today....
I won three times too, but I didn't choose anytime, but just had the last bun.
Of course, as the last time was with my daughter I did a quick swapsy when she wasn't looking, so she thinks we both won twice (she won at Hort)
OMG! This completely passed me by. Can someone explain this all to me?
TIA.
Happy to oblige
Slow news day!
So what do the kings or queens for the day (or afternoon, or evening) do with their privilege(s)?
Bought a three kings cake from Spruengli today and have to admit it was aworth every penny! Absoulutely gorgeous.
My first time today AND I found the King! Yay me!
droit du seigneur
Not just one elephant in the rooom but four
