And somewhere inside the pastry is a little replica of one of "los reyes" and the lucky person that gets it can make a wish, of course if he/she breaks a tooth on it or swallows it, they wouldn't be so lucky and would probably wish that they hadn't found it.

Hmmm...interesting that "rosca" has the same meaning (ring shaped pastry), only it is a feminine noun. The "on" augmentative ought therefore be "ona", resulting in "La roscona de reyes". But the dictionary says "Roscón de reyes" is masculine.

Hi and welcome to the forum. 
Roscón de Reyes = ring-shaped pastry eaten on 6th January.
I bet you could find more info on Google if you wanted it.
