The Cake (or "wafer") of the Kings or "galette des rois" in French, is a type of cake associated with the festival of Epiphany. This cake is very popular in France during January.
The cake has a small trinket inside, and the person who gets the piece of cake with the trinket has various privileges, such as becoming the king and wearing the crown.
The cake consists of flaky puff pastry layers with a dense center of frangipane.
During their first playtime, children will bake a "Galette des rois" and each child will make a beautiful crown.
