A Taste of Tradition: Our Galette des Rois and the Magic of the Fève
January at St. Honoré Bakery means one thing: Galette des Rois! This delightful French tradition brings a taste of Epiphany to Oregon with each flaky, buttery bite; and at St. Honoré, we take this classic pastry to another level with our dedication to authenticity, especially when it comes to the fèves.
For those unfamiliar, a fève is a small trinket included in our galette. Whoever finds it in their slice is crowned king or queen for the day! While some bakeries might use ordinary charms, we believe in honoring the true spirit of this tradition.
Why are fèves so important?
As passionate bakers, we understand the significance of these little treasures. They’re not just toys; they’re symbols of luck, prosperity, and the joy of sharing a special moment with loved ones. In France, collecting fèves is a popular hobby, with some rare ones becoming valuable over time.
What kind of fèves can you expect to find at St. Honoré?
We source unique and high-quality fèves, often handcrafted by artisans. Our fèves are from the Baking Ingredient Collection for 2025! Each whole Galette des Rois comes with one of these cute pastel fèves.
More than just a pastry:
Beyond the delicious almond cream filling and perfectly golden crust, the fèves at St. Honoré elevate the Galette des Rois to a truly special experience. They spark conversation, create memories, and connect us to a centuries-old tradition.
