Called Epiphany Cake or King’s cake in English, galette des rois is traditionally served on the 12th day of Christmas. As part of the festivities, a porcelain figurine is baked into the galette. Whoever gets the trinket is named either king or queen for the night—hence the name galette des rois (king).
