A Decorated Cookie Tree in the Pantry
Standing on a wooden pantry shelf, an iced gingerbread tree shaped like an evergreen is decorated with small candy ornaments. Right next to the baked confection sits a woven basket filled with unshelled winter nuts.
Traditions of Edible Holiday Decorations
Baking cookie ornaments to hang on real fir trees dates back several centuries in Central Europe. Decorating gingerbread trees with round candies, sugar pearls, and piped icing allowed families to create edible art for holiday displays. Storing walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds in baskets kept winter snacks accessible in dry kitchen pantries.
