For years while living in the US we have been enjoying the authentic German Marzipan Stollen, an over 500 year old Christmas tradition. We bought our Oebel Marzipan Stollen this year at World Market in Atlanta. My surprise was big for also finding German Marzipan Stollen at our new, local T.J. MAXX store. We did buy them there often, while on the road as consultants in Connecticut. But it sure makes us feel more at HOME with local supply now. Do you know this delicious German Tradition also? If not, you ought to buy one now, even 'after Christmas sales' can give you this great experience.
Enjoy this Marzipan Stollen with tea or coffee and I guarantee, you will be hooked!
So plan to add this to your Christmas to do list.
It sure brings one in the mood—together with candles and bobèches in silver candleholders...
Not much else needed but some Christmas music!
Served on a Rosenthal Sanssouci Roses Ivory plate.
The silver crocheted doily has been hand made by a former Turkish neighbor in The Netherlands.
Incredible work, I would not be able to copy that!
The silver tray was handmade for us in Kotagede, near Yogyakarta in Indonesia.
Hi Mariette! Beautiful table setting.
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteThank you and yes, candles with polished silver work miracles.

You've reminded me; we need to get some Stollen when we next go shopping ... and also Panettoni.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Mariette and Pieter. God bless.
Dearest Victor,
DeleteYes, you better do and make your Christmas experience complete.
Hugs,
Pieter and Mariette
Shining silver is suitable for this season. Happy weekend to you.
ReplyDeleteDearest RTC,
DeleteYes, it certainly IS!
Hugs and happy weekend to you,
Mariette
In Friuli non ho mai visto questo marzapane Stollen.Il centrino e il vassoio sono molto belli.Buon pomeriggio.
ReplyDeleteCara Olga,
DeleteMa Stollen senza marzapane è anche molto buono!
Abbracci,
Mariette
Lovely setting, Mariette, with that gorgeous tray and those candles. My dad's family is German, they came to Canada after WWII, so I grew up with German food, especially at the holidays! And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE marzipan!
ReplyDeleteDearest Kim,
DeleteThank you and yes, this is so typical for the Christmas season.
Happy to read that you grew up with German food and tell me—have you ever met anyone that did NOT love the marzipan in stollen or otherwise?!
Hugs,
Mariette
Looks like a treat we will have to try. Blessings, Mariette!
ReplyDeleteDearest Martha Jane,
DeleteOh but I warn you—this is addictive!
Once tried, you never will do without Stollen for Christmas...
Hugs,
Mariette
Se ve muy atractivo a la vista con esa bella decoración.
ReplyDeleteBesos.
Querida Antónia,
DeleteGracias y sí, el ojo también debe tener algo...
¡El stollen real es delicioso!
Abrazos,
Mariette
Oh Yummy Yummy Yum Yum!!!! I could live on your Stollen ... though I'd best not.
ReplyDeleteDearest Helen,
DeleteYes, it is very yummy but not so good for our health...🤗
Hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful setting, Mariette.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try your Marzipan stollen.
Hugs and blessings!
Dearest Veronica,
DeleteThank you and wish I could serve you some tea or coffee with Stollen!
Hugs,
Mariette
Always purchase at least one and bought mine yesterday at LIDL! Will open on Christmas Eve and add to the little open house celebration buffet. I have to admit I'm totally addicted to anything with marzipan or almond paste!!!
ReplyDeleteDearest Mary,
DeleteYes, we also have to look for one or some more... They belong to Christmas and who would NOT love them. Even I make an exception and have a slice...😏
Hugs,
Mariette
Adoro esse bolo de Natal. Compro sempre todos os anos. Na mesa há sempre Marzipan Stollen alemão, Panetone italiano e o Bolo-Rei português.
