“You dont want to eat the baby Jesus, but its good luck if hes in your slice of cake.

Its a Mexican tradition on Jan. 6 — Three Kings Day — to eat a sweetbread called rosca de reyes, or kings cake. Hidden inside the buttery cake are tiny plastic dolls representing the baby Jesus. Whoever finds the baby in their slice has to throw a party a month later and invite everybody in the room for tamales.”
