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
used to have the most beautiful boxes of small marzipan figures. All lovingly hand made. Unfortunately I don't care for it but my father truly loved marzipan. Hopefully the boxes of marzipan are still being sold.
The stores would place open boxes in their windows
to attract customers.
(I think now pfeffernuse is not leibkuchen)
RR, hmmm interesting question. Being above the shoulders I kind of doubt that they are but I cannot figure what else they could be. Really huge pimples?
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.
