stollen

Have been getting my fill of stollen this year.

First, Starbucks' version was more like a poundcake filled with nuts and dried fruits.

And then we tried Takibi Bakery's version, which has marzipan in the middle.

I loved all the whole pieces of nuts and fruits in it.

This version had a fondant like "glaze" over it, most places I've tried in Japan have powdered sugar on theirs.

I've never had an authentic version, but think this one may be very close.

Tomorrow is Christmas, may Santa bring everything you are hoping for.
