Bread & Pastry ornaments

Bread and pastry Christmas ornaments at The Christmas Shop

Bread and pastry Christmas ornaments bring the warmth of a Christmas bakery to your tree. Within our food and drink Christmas ornaments, this is the sweetest corner: from mouth-blown macarons and slices of cake to Dutch classics like oliebollen and poffertjes. Inge Glas Manufaktor in Bavaria makes the finest patisserie pieces, each hand-painted in its own factory. Vondels from Amsterdam designs its own work with a Dutch wink, and Decoris adds approachable ornaments that are just as recognisable.

Classic patisserie in glass

The classics of the patisserie hang with us in glass. A richly topped slice of cake with cream and strawberry, a glass macaron in soft pink, or a yellow macaron that stands out against dark branches. The macaron itself is a French invention from the seventeenth century, and its round shape and bright colours suit a Christmas tree surprisingly well.

Dutch sweets in the tree

For anyone who loves a cosy Dutch Christmas, this is where the real classics live. Decoris made a glass ornament of poffertjes on a red plate, topped with icing sugar, melted butter and a small Dutch flag. For New Year's Eve there's a stack of oliebollen on a glass dish, finished with a red satin bow. Vondels from Amsterdam designed a slice of bread with hagelslag, a daily breakfast for many but suddenly festive as an ornament.

Combining with gingerbread and coffee

Bread and pastry sits naturally next to the other parts of the food and drink collection. Gingerbread has its own corner: see the gingerbread Christmas ornaments for classic gingerbread men and houses. For coffee lovers, there are coffee cups and cappuccino ornaments that hang well alongside. You can build a continuous theme through your tree, from macaron to gingerbread house to coffee, without breaking the line.
