Edit: Yes, yes I know.

Croatian Easter Bread Babies (Primorski Uskrsne Bebe)! Our Istrian Nona would bake these every Easter for us.

Traditionally, the bread symbolizes Jesus as a swaddled baby, celebrating family and community during the holiday. Nona would always tell us girls that it was a good luck charm to have healthy babies of our own in the future.

Next time, I need to wrap the heads a little better — these babies need more neck support!

    These babies need more neck support made me snort. Though, now I feel bad for wanting to eat literally every loaf. Those poor babies…

    Yeah…. baby Jesus…. that’s totally what I thought they were πŸ˜³πŸ†

  3. These are very cool! Thank you for sharing. Are the eggs hard boiled before you bake them? That is so fun.

    Why represent baby Jesus at Easter? Should this be for Christmas celebrating his birth rather than Easter when he died and was resurrected. It’s not like it was reincarnation and he’s a baby again on Easter morning

    Damn why do these kind of remind me of the God Emporer of Dune?

    The execution seems good but man that final product isnt for me.
