    1. Hello Confused Jane. It is a cake. But the word "Pain" means "bread" as well. It is definitely something sweet...It is typical from France at Christmas...Best, Sixte

    1. Hello Harriet. Saint Nicholas is a bringer of gifts. Saint Nicholas originates primarily in Alsace, Nord-Pas-de-Calais (French Flanders), and in Lorraine, where he is patron. A little donkey carries baskets filled with children's gifts, biscuits and sweets: spiced gingerbread biscuits and mannala (a brioche shaped like the saint) are baked.Wikipedia. Best, Sixte
