Last call for king cake, continued. Another of my top king cakes in this short season dials into a different kind of tradition — the French tradition, as in the galette des rois from @celticafrenchbakery .

Baker Dominique Rizzo earned a reputation for the king cakes of his French homeland many years ago.

Now, the place to find Rizzo’s cake is his fine patisserie in Lakeview.

This delicately flaky galette is regal, burnished and gleaming, and a bite gives a cascade of crunchy crust, layer after layer, with almond paste coursing between.

Get them whole of by the slice at Celtica.
