As we approach Easter Time here in Carroll Gardens, the Agnellini Pasquale are making their yearly appearance at Monteleone Pastry Shop at 355 Court Street and Court Street Pastry at 298 Court Street.
Every year, the marzipan lambs make an appearance at our two remaining Italian neighborhood bakeries in the weeks leading up to this holiday. There is 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 in the neighborhood and it is wonderful to see that the tradition is still very much alive here in Carroll Gardens
