Regional/Cultural Day

Día del Pastel

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.
