A little bit of history....

The traditional French celebration of Epiphany (January 6th), features its own dedicated dessert tradition: the Galette des Rois. Tradition holds that the cake is “to draw the kings” to the Epiphany. A figurine, la fève, which can represent anything, is hidden in the cake and the person who finds the trinket in his or her slice becomes king for the day and will have to offer the next cake. With every Gaby et Jules galette, we include a fève and a paper crown to crown the "king" who finds the fève in his or her piece of cake.

A little bit of Fun...

To ensure a random distribution of the cake slices once it is cut, it is customary for the youngest person in the group to sit under the table and name the recipient of the piece which is indicated by the person serving.
