El roscón de reyes!
The kings’ ring is traditionally eaten on January 6, during the celebration of the “Día de Reyes” (literally “Kings’ Day”), which commemorates the arrival of the three Magi or Wise Men. In most of Spain and Spanish America this is the day when children traditionally get presents, which are attributed to the Three Wise Men (and actually, this day here is stronger then Christmas or Santa Claus!).
Roscones tradicionaly hide in their interior a figure - either of Jesus or others like little toys for kids and a dry fava bean. Whoever finds the figure is crowned and becomes the “king” or “queen” of the banquet, whereas whoever finds the bean has to pay next year’s roscón.
This one in the pics was filled with marzipan (sugar and almond flour) and made it by me.=)
P.S.:I found the figure and the bean. I guess that means that i’m gonna get fat! ¬¬
