Really one for the ladies.

Shellpiero you need to tell us a little more about yourself and of your expectations for your special day.

What we give is Loukoumia. Anything else is not traditional. Here is how they look.

The one in the center must be an over sized Loukoumi that is served as a cake. The traditional ones are the small ones. One for each guest. It has sugar on the outside and pistachio nuts in the center. The more pistachio nuts it has the higher the quality (and more expensive).

Loukoumia, Gourambiades, Pastichia and sugared almonds are all traditional, surely?

Sugared Almonds are mostly for Christening of babies. The other things are the same as Loukoumia.
