Tortes Are Us
Although Maida Heatter seemed to put these on the culinary map, they go back to a recipe from 1896.
These can be eaten like candy, meringue cookie or used to decorate a buche de noel (which is what I usually do with them)
Although in a basket on a table, they make a great trompe d'oeil for April Fool's Day.
