A ‘Twelfth Night Cake’ was enjoyed by families on the final day of Christmas each year. This was a type of fruit cake into which a coin or dried bean was stirred before baking. Whoever found the hidden treasure inside their piece of cake would be declared the Lord of Misrule, presiding over the evening’s feast and silliness until midnight brought an end to the rule and to Christmas itself.
