Pasta Reale is one of Sicily's most glorious traditions, almond paste beautifully sculpted and painted. A feast for both eyes and palate!
This pasta reale was on display at Torino's Salone del Gusto. If you want to try your hand at it, you will find instructions here.

Very convincing! And beautiful.
I remember almond paste goodies like this from the Scandinavian tradition as a Christmas treat. As a child, I enjoyed these vegetables a lot more than the real ones.
Gorgeous photo! The vibrant colors remind me of all the things I love about Sicily – the ceramics, beautiful coastline, amazing Greek ruins – and, of course, the delicious food.
Oh wow , that’s amazing I was trying to figure out each fruit of veggie only to discover they are almond paste.
Works of art!
