    1. The French cake you’re referring to is called **”Galette des Rois”** (King’s Cake). It is traditionally eaten to celebrate **Epiphany** (on January 6th), though it’s often enjoyed throughout January.

      # Key features of the Galette des Rois:

      * **Pastry**: Typically made with puff pastry filled with **frangipane** (an almond cream).
      * **The Bean**: A small figurine or charm, called a **fève**, is hidden inside the cake.
      * **The Tradition**: The person who finds the fève in their slice becomes the **”king” or “queen”** for the day and wears a paper crown that comes with the cake.

      In Southern France, a different version called **”gâteau des rois”** is more common. It’s a brioche-style cake decorated with candied fruits.

      Enjoy! 😊

      It’s supposed to be there. With “3 koningen” it’s tradition to share a piece of cake with friends/family. The person who gets the statuette in their piece is granted luck for the coming year.

      You get to wear the crown. But also you ate it too soon so I guess you don’t get to wear the crown.

      To those who claim it’s too early: Are you the same people who give Sinterklaas gifts on December 6th, just so the children can get a brief look at their presents before rushing off to school? It’s Sunday; everyone is more relaxed.
