gateaux
Elaborate layered desserts
Gateaux is the plural of gateau, a rich, elaborate cake, typically layered and decorated.
The word is French and appears mainly in British English, where it sounds more refined than plain "cake": The dessert trolley featured several gateaux.
In American English, the singular gateau occasionally appears on upscale menus.
