Image of the week: Covid confectionery
Banish all thoughts of new yearâs resolutions this January and get stuck into a month of lockdown excess, with or without some specially themed pandemic confectionery. It does exist.
Here, biscuits in the shape of vaccination syringes and the note âbye Covid-19, you wonât be missedâ are shown being decorated at Schürener Backparadies bakery in Dortmund, Germany â the bakery also produces some fetching syringe-shaped cakes with the message â2021 Bye-Bye Coronaâ. Meanwhile, in the wedding industry, bakers have adjusted to producing âCovid cakesâ, its name for intricately iced extravaganzas that might have multiple tiers, but are only five or six inches in diameter on account of the distinct lack of wedding guests to share them.
