Le Gateau Des Rois

French students celebrated "le gateau des rois' a few days early (January 3) this year, since Epiphany (January 6) fell on a Sunday. Our gateaux (six of them) were baked and generously donated to us by the Harrison Home Bakery. Un grand merci to Mr. Dieter Noller and his family - our favorite bakers!

Who were the kings in the 2008 gateau des rois celebration at CNE?
