Do a Web search for Gateau du Roi or Galette du Roi. Coming into this
conversation late, I could be wrong, but it sounds like a 12th Night
Cake custom, wherein whoever gets the plastic baby, bean, gold coin,
button, etc., in their portion of cake, is elected the suc-- the
lucky soul who gets to Do The Thing, such as being the Lord/Lady of
Misrule. This is probably a Roman Saturnalia custom, originally.
