Ouverture (Liège 1604) has some sweet recipes, mostly for the base items
without details of what to do with them. Several pastes, quite a number
of coloured jellies, a couple for imitation snow, a couple using a kind
of meringue. A recipe for making a sugar solution that can be used to
cast figures. Slightly more finished, a couple of recipes for imitation
bacon, and one for imitation ice.
There is a brief description of large subtleties carved out of butter.
There are a number of simple sweet pastries, and sweet dessert tarts.
