Galette des Rois at CORD Café

This cake is made of puff pastry filled with frangipane. Hidden in the frangipane is a little fève - a ceramic biblical figurine. Tradition dictates that whoever finds the fève in their slice is crowned King or Queen for the day, wears a paper crown which is provided with the cake, and gets pampered by their friends for the rest of the day! Hence the name – Galette des Rois – “Cake of Kings”.
