Jour du Gateau
Cake in Congo is not a dessert. Cake is an event. Every birthday, every wedding, every baptism, every graduation requires a gateau. The Congolese gateau is dense, sweet, and decorated with frosting that declares the occasion in capital letters. The baker who makes your gateau knows your family history. The gateau is not optional. The gateau is mandatory.

A day for checking the remote, the toy, the flashlight, the clock, and the one drawer everyone opens first.
