Love, love, love these cute marzipan sculptures by Glenn D'Hondt, Sylvia Meert, and Tinne Mermans of Eugene and Louise Bakery (it's a fictional bakery for an art show): http://www.eugene-and-louise-bakery.be/ (don't miss the white chocolate butter cookie clouds!) - via Scene 360 Illusion
I'm not sure what pfeffernuse is though the name rings a bell. Lebkuchen is the soft gingerbread type stuff, though. I haven't had any since I was a kid and am now craving it.
