Fèves



History
:
There is a tradition in France to share a cake for the "Kings day" , January 6,
where a fève is hidden inside.
A fève is a one inch porcelain figurine that is baked within a special cake. 
The person who finds it becomes the "king" of the day. 
He receives a pasteboard crown and can choose a "queen".
He then has to invite everyone who shared the first cake to share a new cake.

Fèves come in all different forms. 
There are figures that are part of a Christian Nativity, Disney's characters
(Pochahontas, Lion King, Dalmatians, Aristocats, Mickey characters, Tarzan, Jungle Book...),
Pink Panther, Betty Boop...
