Sugar Board

The Netherlands
Carved wood
11 7/8 × 5 inches

Double sided sugar board with three cavities: Sint, windmill, Piet. Two-sided molds made 3-D sugar figures, called suikerbeesten or sugerbeasts, a simple clear hard candy. Not all were animals, some were Sinterklaas and other figures. Sugarbeasts used to be a traditional Sinterklaas candy, but are now rare.
