That sounds very similar to a British tradition for New Year's (I think - it might be Christmas). You bake a fruitcake with several little silver charms in it, and serve it to your guests. If you find a charm in your slice of cake, it indicates your fortune for the coming year - you'll find true love, receive a large sum of money, etc.
