Rosca De Reyes

Our wonderful Mexican neighbors, the providers of all things sweet, brought samples of Rosca De Reyes, Three Kings Bread. Traditionally baked round as an allusion to a King's crown, the sweet bread is a staple of the holiday. Hidden within is a "baby jesus" figurine -- the individual who finds the toy in their slice must then prepare tamales for everyone on the Day of the Candles, which is celebrated on February 2. Fortunately, none of us found the baby, but we did enjoy this delicious treat and will look forward to it next year as well.
