presepe al cioccolato

Sweet nativity






This gourmet deli store always lures passers by with its window display. This year the new food specialty is a chocolate cake in the shape of a Christmas tree, decorated with a sugar-sculpted nativity scene, complete with Three Kings. Were it not for its spiritual connotation, it could be labeled as luxuriously self-indulgent.





Happy Epiphany!

  4. This photo is not allowed for viewing for Ladies after New Year celebrations, as the effect is paralyzing for their will and mind...
