Hi, I will use bits and pieces with my French university students. I just wanted to let you know that it's a fève (once a fava bean and now a small porcelain or plastic figurine) that is hidden inside the cake. The person who gets the fève in their serving is declared 'le roi' or 'la reine'. :) A paper golden crown comes along with the cake and le roi or la reine gets to wear it.
