Confetti
These traditional little cake are
made with an almond covered by sugar. They are a symbol of
happiness, luck and prosperity, so they are used for the
important ceremonies: baptism, holy communion and wedding. In
Italy many children have their First Holy Communion in May. They
receive a lot of presents and they give some confetti to their
relatives and friends. Usually the confetti are in a small box
or bag, called “bomboniera” with a little gift and a card with
the name and the date. |
