Guatemalan King’s Cake

King’s cake or, as some know it, rosca de reyes originated in European countries that have large Catholic populations. A popular tradition in Central and South America, the cake is served with a small baby Jesus trinket. Whoever receives the slice of cake with baby Jesus is considered blessed or may have to host the next family holiday party.  King’s cake is usually served around the beginning of the New Year or on January 6 to celebrate the Epiphany- when the three wise men went to visit Jesus when he was born.
