VASILOPITA 🥮

A vasilopita is a traditional Greek cake or bread prepared and enjoyed to celebrate the New Year 🎆

Hidden inside the cake is a coin wrapped in foil and the family member who is fortunate enough to receive the coin in their slice is said to have good luck for the rest of the year 🪙 🍀

Don’t have time to make one yourself? Never fear, we are stocked up with one of the best by 🥮
