Not exactly sure which version of CM you actually ended-up installing, but one of these links should have what you need:

Yes, they're created by Google...the text in bold red below tells the story of why they must be installed separately in CyanogenMod:

Google Apps are the proprietary Google-branded applications that come pre-installed with most Android devices, such as the Play Store, Gmail, Maps, etc. Due to licensing restrictions, these apps cannot come pre-installed with CyanogenMod and must be installed separately. The Google Apps are not required to boot or run CyanogenMod, however many users find them beneficial to take full advantage of the Android ecosystem.

These Apps have been packaged by a developer independent of CyanogenMod, and download links have been provided for your convenience. It is possible to perform a "backup" of the Google Apps on your device and then "restore" them, but this does take additional steps which are not covered here.

The Google Apps packages are NOT SUPPORTED in any way by CyanogenMod.
