Today, January 6th, is Three Kings Day, which commemorates when the three kings bestowed their gifts upon baby Jesus. It's a day of eating, with pasteles, tamales, tembleque and rice and beans all being popular treats. But more importantly, it's the day of Three Kings Cake, also known as Roscas de Reyes, the delicious yeasty cake topped with colorful confections and encasing a tiny plastic baby. Last year, we ventured to Lopez Bakery to sample the treats, but if you're in need of additional suggestions or want to try out something new, Brooklyn Paper has a full write-up of bakeries serving the treats in the borough. And if you're going to catch the Museo del Barrio's annual parade in East Harlem, be sure to stop by either Don Paco Lopez (2129 3rd Avenue, 212-876-0700) or Mi Querida Mexico Lindo Bakery (2267 2nd Avenue, 212 996 5223). The latter will be serving cakes in three sizes at $10, $20, and $30. Tastier than gold, frankincense and myrrh, for sure.
