<holidayfyi-glossary slug="galette-des-rois"></holidayfyi-glossary>A flaky puff pastry cake filled with frangipane (almond cream) eaten in France and French-speaking countries on Epiphany (6 January) to celebrate the visit of the Magi to the infant Jesus. Hidden inside is a small porcelain figurine called a feve (originally a dried bean); whoever finds it in their slice is crowned king or queen and wears the paper crown that accompanies every galette — a tradition dating to the medieval French church, with millions of galettes consumed every January.
