Definition
A fancy French cake, usually made with multiple layers, frosting, and decorative toppings, often served at special celebrations.
Etymology
From French 'gâteau,' derived from Old French 'gaste' meaning 'cake,' which itself comes from Frankish sources. The word entered English in the 18th century during the height of French culinary influence in European courts.
Kelly Says
The French became so famous for fancy cakes that they literally gave us the word—'gâteau' is how sophisticated Europeans say 'cake' when they really mean 'edible art,' and bakers competed to create increasingly elaborate designs.
