Hi Claire, I don't know every thing. I just was lucky to lived in Germany for over 20 years. My grandmother raised me. So I learned a lot of the old traditions.As a child I ask alot of questions. It could be Lebkuchen.Gingerbread Because it is spicy and brown in color. The made houses from them, ornaments in all different size and shapes The would be hang on the tree or wall and good to eat. I don't cut them out any more I am getting lazy. I make Lebkuchen bars. I make my batter, put icing on and cut in squares.
