In Regency and Georgian times, Twelfth Night (January 5) was often a huge party at which was served a cake containing a dried bean and a dried pea. The man who found the bean became the King of the Bean, and the woman who found the pea became the Queen of the Pea. For the rest of the evening, they ruled the household. The cake itself became increasingly elaborate through the 1800s, with sugar frosting and gilded trimmings, often decorated with elaborate figures made from Plaster of Paris or sugar paste. But beans and peas weren't the only things in the cake. If you found a twig, it meant you were a fool; if you found a clove you were a villain.
