A traditional pastry on this day is the Epiphany cake. In this dessert made of yeast dough hides a "king" (usually an almond or similar) and the one who catches this piece is treated like a king for the rest of the day.
According to the guidelines for fine baked goods, the king cake is made of sandy mass with candied fruit. The old German Königskuchen is made of especially heavy sand mass, while the Rhineland-style Königskuchen is additionally baked wrapped in puff pastry.
