The history and tradition of Roscón de Reyes

The Roscón de Reyes is more than just a dessert; it is a tradition rich in history. Its roots date back to the Roman festivities honoring the god Saturn, where round cakes decorated with dried fruits were made. Over time, this custom evolved into the delicious cake we know today, associated with the Epiphany on January 6th.

Inside the Roscón, two surprises are hidden:

  1. The figure: Whoever finds it is crowned king or queen.
  2. The bean: Whoever finds it must pay for the next roscón.
