This morning I went on an excursion to Calderon, a town about an hour north of Quito, with one of the spanish teachers and another woman from my school. I had requested this trip because it is home to the marzipan artisans. These figures are most popular during Christmas time. Only the larger figurines need to be baked, the rest are assembled with some sort of glue, left to harden, and then cover with a glossy non edible coating.
