![Galette des Rois - French Epiphany Pastry (F) - 12th Scale Miniature Food](http://parisminiatures.com/cdn/shop/products/Paris-Miniatures-Galettes-des-rois-17_{width}x.jpg?v=1673018287)
A traditional French galette des rois pastry. Complete with golden card crown just like the real ones!
Measures approximately 2.0 cm (3/4 inch) in diameter.
Note the design of the crown may vary. A selection of galettes is shown with examples of crowns.
The End of December / early January sees the annual appearance of golden discs pastry heaven in French bakeries - the galette des rois - a frangipane-filled flaky pastry treat which marks the arrival of Epiphany.
In each one, a porcelain charm (called a fève) is hidden*. The lucky person who is served the slice containing the charm (and hopefully avoids a broken tooth) is crowned the King or Queen and wins the right to wear the crown that accompanies each galette.
