Sugared Strawberry Ornament
by Inge Glas of Germany

From Inge Glas of Germany. Where some people like to dip their strawberry in sugar before they eat it, this one comes completely 'sugared' in red glitter with white dots for the seeds and green glittered leaves! In medieval Europe, strawberries were served at festivals and important state occasions to ensure peace and prosperity. They were carved into Church pillars to symbolize perfection and righteousness. In provincial France, strawberries were considered an aphrodisiac, so newlyweds were traditionally served strawberry soup. Today we like to eat them for health reasons or dip them in chocolate for dessert!
