We haven’t stopped baking since the beginning of Christmas and were determined to keep it up until Epiphany, aligned with our Christmas tree. We celebrated the arrival of the 3 Kings with our debut of the Corona de Reyes, a rolled, wreath-type of cake, stuffed with dried fruit and nuts and decorated with candied cherries and walnuts. A delight for all senses. Ideally we would have loved to include a ceramics figurine, as some Latin American traditions suggest that whoever finds it in their slice will then host a meal at a Candlemass on the 2nd of February but we all know that for the moment, I embodied that figurine myself so it would be rather cynical to be formally allocated that role. Perhaps next year we’ll be a little bit more sociable and enjoy it in the company of other families and finally play the game. A resolution for 2027!
