This new year I'm going along with my resolution to get good luck, which involves eating a number of different good luck foods. Lentils, beans, greens and round cakes are all on the menu. Ring cakes are a classic dessert for celebrating the new year, especially in Europe. The ring shape is believed to bring luck, wealth, and prosperity. There are many cakes that fit that mold, like Bundts and Kugelhopfs.
