Agnellini Pasquale Make Their Yearly Appearance At Court Street Pastry

oo

It is wonderful to see that the Sicilian Easter tradition of the Agnellini Pasquale,  is still alive and well here in Carroll Gardens
Every year, the marzipan lambs make an appearance in the weeks leading up to Easter at Court Pastry Shop at 298 Court Street. No exception this year. The molded almond paste creatures have hand-painted faces, rest on a bed of fake green grass and are surrounded by a few chocolate eggs and candy.
It wouldn't be Easter without such a centerpiece for many Italian families here in Carroll Gardens.
