Three Kings Day or El Dia de Reyes is tomorrow, Monday, and without going into any religious significance .... for us it's just a day for cake, coffee, get together and fun. The fun comes from discovering who gets the plastic baby Jesus in their piece of cake. The person that finds a baby has to buy or make tamales for the next party. Actually there are usually more than one baby in the cake which spreads the responsibility.
Rosca de Reyes or kings' ring
The cake we bought yesterday looks very similar to this but is still double wrapped to keep it fresh until tomorrow night. Gonna have to make sure I have enough good coffee (no Nescafe) for some cake dunking.

And I keep dunking the plastic baby found in my slice - it will not go away. Party at my casa Feb. 2nd!
He must float so you can't hide Hey-soos on the bottom
I bought a kings' cake yesterday in New Orleans. Here's a pic.
I am eating Kng Cake at a Saint's Football Party tomorrow. I don't want no babies!
Wow .... very fancy and sweeter than ours. Had 3 babies in the cake and I got one ... so tamales before Feb 2nd.
We also had chocolate instead of coffee ..... ymmmmm !!
