Three Kings in a cake

Thousands of Mexicans gathered last Friday to enjoy a piece of the roscon de reyes, or King's Cake, which is provided by Mexico City's government for the New Year, ahead of Three Kings Day tomorrow. The behemoth pastry measured a staggering 1,400m in length and weighed some 9,375kg.
The King's Cake celebration honours the Three Kings' visit to the newborn Jesus when, as Christians believe, God was first revealed to the world in human form.
