Nothing says "I love you!" like porcelain dolls in a coffin. Crazy Victorians, they knew how to spoil their kids!

In France there's a type of almond based cake thing called "Gallet Des Rois" (I can't spell, I only ever heard the name) and it has a little porcelain charm inside it. Whoever finds it in their slice gets to wear a paper crown
-
In Catalunya we also have this type of cake. We call it "Tortell de Reis"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortell The same as the french one. If you find a broad bean instead, you must pay the cake.

It's so interesting how there are different versions of this cake

"Don't talk so much" is the Victorian version of "Snitches get stitches"

I've never seen them in little coffins before! And, many frozen Charlottes had unglazed backs, so they could float in water and be used as a bath toy!

I think that the third one is a jointed doll, as well. I can tell by looking she is supposed to be wigged.
