Every December, someone bakes a beautiful tray of gingerbread, and it lasts roughly as long as it takes to find the milk. The decorative kind has a far better attendance record.
This set of six sugarplum-style cookies comes in soft pastel blue and pink, each one shaped like a different dessert. Hand-painted details give them the look of an afternoon spent with a piping bag, though the only effort required is deciding where they go. Made from stone powder and poly resin, they’re built to return for many seasons.
Line them along a shelf, cluster them at the center of the table, or set one at each place for a holiday dinner. A few make a sweet addition to a gift basket, too. Come the new year, pack them away; they’ll be back next winter looking freshly frosted.
