This bready, donut-shaped cake is decorated with dried fruits and spiked with a non-edible representation of the baby Jesus. Rosca de reyes is traditionally eaten on January 6 to commemorate the biblical story of the arrival of the Three Kings. Finding the baby Jesus in your slice of cake is an honor – one the recipient celebrates by throwing a party on February 2 with tamales and atole for all guests.
