Plural of gateau; multiple elaborate, fancy cakes.
French plural of gâteau. English uses both gateaux (French plural) and gateaus (English plural), though gateaux remains more common in formal contexts.
English is hilariously indecisive about this word—we kept the French spelling and French plural just to sound fancy, but we also invented an English plural because 'gateaus' sounds less pretentious to American ears.
