Gateau Pithiviers

This is not my favorite thing from this unit, but I did quite like it! It's called a Gateau Pithiviers or a Twelfth Night Cake, although it isn't very cake like. Basically it is two layers of puff pastry sandwiched around frangipane. Frangipane, as it turns out, is not just almond cream--it is in fact almond cream mixed with pastry cream. Yum.
