Indulge your sweet tooth this season with ready-made and made-to-order traditional, European Christmas delights from Café Madeline, the French patisserie at Baha Mar.
These desserts are also easy, delicious gift alternatives to fruitcakes for the young and young at heart on your list.
The gingerbread house traces its roots to Germany and was popularized in the German fairy tale Hansel and Gretel.
Today it is a favorite for both adults and children because of its beautiful decorations and comforting scent of spices and molasses. Whimsical gingerbread cookies also make the perfect companion for your afternoon tea or specialty coffee.
Fruitcake traditionalists looking for something a little closer to home will love the Panettone and Stöllen breads. Panettone bread is a fluffy, rum-soaked, Italian sweet bread with dried fruits and citrus notes. German Stöllen bread is a cake-like bread with dried fruit that has been soaked in rum or brandy and is served covered in powdered sugar.
