La fête des rois the feast of the Kings or Epiphany, is celebrated in French homes throughout January.
A cake - la galette - made of puff pastry and almond frangipane contains a figurine called une fève, a bean. Whoever gets the piece with the fève is king for the day, wears a crown and chooses a queen.
Nowadays you can buy the cake complete with crown and fève in bakers' shops.
In the interest of fair play, the youngest child sits under the table as mother cuts the cake and says who each piece is for.
C'est à qui? Whose is it?
C'est à papa. It's dad's.
C'est à Tata Marie. It's for auntie Mary.
C'est à moi. It's mine.
