Name

Buccellato

A Buccellato is a Sicilian circular cake given by godparents to the godchild and family on the christening day. The cake is supposed to be as large as possible to ensure good luck. Legend has it that the cake has even once reached the size of a Ferris wheel. Depending on the recipe used, it can include dried or candied fruit, etc. They are usually shaped like a ring/circle which makes it awkward to eat. It goes well with warm tea.
