Lucky Marzipan Pigs

We've made some lucky marzipan pigs and even marzipan bread and added them to our online store.

Just an FYI on the tradition behind the lucky marzipan pig:

In Germany, a marzipan pig is given as a gift or stocking stuffer between Christmas and New Year's Day to bestow good fortune on friends and loved ones in the coming year. 

In Norway and Denmark, a tradition involves a rice pudding or porridge with a whole almond baked inside. The individual who finds the almond in their dish receives a prize, usually a lucky marzipan pig.

Enjoy
