Huh? Stand and eat which? cookies? Oreos? or Rudolph?
:-)

Speaking of icons, Icons are small portraits/paintings done in
the Orthadox Church (see Icons-art, icons-msg in the RELIGION
section of the Florilegium). I wonder if you could do one in
sugarpaste/marzipan using food colors to make a soteltie? Any
evidence of this having been done in Byzantium? I doubt sotelties
were strictly a western European thing.
