Little Christmas Cakes (recipe from my Mom) Mini panes de Pascua

The last recipe before Christmas.
I have other recipes ready but I have not put them because I prefer make Christmas recipes.

It's a Christmas cake my mom always does.
This year she is very tired so I told her I could make it.
The recipe gives for two medium breads, but I made one bread and seven small ones and they were really good and smell delicious.

It is a really ancient recipe that was given her from a friend many years ago.

I garnish them with white glaze and marzipan leaves and candied cherries.

I whish you all my friends a really Merry Christmas !!
