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”.
The Cafés also provide a range of other delicious celebration cakes for pre order, alongside click and collect options from CORD Café including lunch platters which include gourmet sandwiches, fresh salads, verrines and a variety of desserts.
