Frangipane King Cakes with Almond and Pistachio from Le Jardin Sucré, available in Paris and the Yvelines

For this year's Epiphany 2026, Jardin Sucré, the renowned pastry bakery located in the 17th arrondissement of Paris and in Cernay-la-Ville, is sharing its latest creations. This season, the house presents two exquisite king cake varieties: one with almond and another with pistachio, each infused with a special twist.

The first galette, true to tradition, is made with a rich almond frangipane. What sets it apart is the delicate addition of Madagascar vanilla, which lends a subtle sweetness and an irresistible aroma. This harmonious combination elevates the classic Kings' Cake, adding an extra layer of indulgence to this Épiphanie favorite.

The second galette is a house specialty — a true crowd-pleaser. It pairs luscious pistachio frangipane with the delicate aroma of orange blossom, striking a perfect balance between rich flavors and floral notes. Crowned with toasted pistachios, it offers a crunchy texture and a smoky touch that beautifully enhances the sweetness of the frangipane.
