Anything metal. In English Christmas stories, a thimble is put in. These were steamed cakes, not oven baked but anything silver should be OK. Maybe a charm for a bracelet? If you are worried about baking the item, put it between the bottom and top layers when the cake is assembled.





';Tradition dictates that six objects be found in the pudding: 2 rings to bring love, a sixpence as a sign of prosperity, a trouser button for the bachelor, a thimble for the spinster, and a little pig who will determine the glutton at the table. The tradition of hiding silver coins in the pudding is a link to earlier days in English and Scottish courts when the leader of the Christmas revels was chosen on Twelfth Night by finding a bean hidden in the pudding.';









I think most objects melt into food when baked. I would bake the cake first and randomly push any object (ex. quarter, nickle, cheap ring, ect) into the cake, then cover it with icing. that way nobody will know where it is until it is found :)
You might try a bean.





Back in the 1700's, the Colonials would hold a special ball twelve nights after Christmas and whoever found a bean in their piece of the special ';Twelfth Night Cake'; would be the king or queen for the night.
