Abstract:

The use of molding baked goods has a long, symbolic history; the molds have been simple or very intricate. For Christmas time, cookies were commonly molded into biblical scenes, but eventually became simpler, along with the recipes that made them. The author included several pictures of molds that were used in Switzerland and Germany.
