Set of marzipan puppies (one large filled with sweet potato and four small ones) handmade, painted with egg, and filled with sweet potato. With ribbon and bell.
What a commotion we have here! 4 tiny puppies, with a soft texture and sweet almond flavor, climbing up their mother’s legs, back, and tail. The mother, also made of marzipan and filled with sweet potato, sits impassively and seems to think “they’ll get tired eventually.” And if not, she knows that she can calm them with her bell.
Each family is unique – both marzipan and real ones – just as the reason for buying them is unique: for the shared snack of those children who see them every day when leaving school, for the godfather who will give them to his goddaughter as tradition dictates in Reus, for the nostalgic person who remembers their childhood, for the lady who wants to brighten her table, or simply for the lover of the fine taste of sweet almond.
Whatever the reason, they know that they go back to an ancient tradition that not even industrialization has been able to destroy: their more than 100g of weight do not fit in any mold!
