3. Rosca de Reyes
This ring-shaped cake, brought to Latin America from Spain, is decorated with candied and dried fruits and eaten on January 6th, Three Kings Day. (The cake’s shape symbolizes a king’s crown, decorated with jewels.) Some Latino cultures will bake a figurine of the Baby Jesus into the cake. In Mexico, whomever finds the figurine must make tamales for their friends and family on February 2nd, Día de la Candelaria.
