Tortell / Roscón - Three Kings Cake

On the day of the Epiphany families join to celebrate together this day, opening and enjoying the gifts that their majesties have drop last night. It is tipical to share Three Kings Cake that also is filled with little presents. On of these is a bean. The owner of the slice that has the bean "must pay" the cake next year...
Lovely colours

We have 'gallete des rois', a different cake but the same story, and usually these days with a plastic token hidden, though formerly a coin instead of a bean. Your cake is more colourful, which you have captured very nicely.

A present? I hope it is not too hard to make, I would panic if I got the bean.

That looks very delicious. Love these old traditions; unfortunately many are forgotten as time goes by. I hope this won't. Up to some years ago Epiphany was a public holiday for us Maltese to celebrate - nowadays it's just a day like many others.
