– 1 lemon zest
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla (or a pod)

Make a ball, adding a little water if necessary.
Leave to rest for 1 hour in the fridge, wrapping the dough in cellofrais.
Meanwhile, hammer the candies to dust, color by color (this is the hardest part of the recipe).
No time to crush the candy? It doesn't matter, it also works by leaving the candies whole!
Roll out the dough so that it is about 1/2-inch thick.
Cut out shapes with cookie cutters.
Hollow out the center of each shape with a smaller cookie cutter and place each cookie on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
With a straw make a hole to pass the ribbon if you want to hang them in the tree. Fill each hollowed out area with candy powder.
Bake for 10 min in an oven preheated to 190 ° C (thermostat 6).
When you take them out of the oven, let them cool for about ten minutes, so that the candies can set.

Your stained glass cake is ready to be tasted.

The editorial's tip: If you don't have time to powder the candy, you can use large pieces or whole candies. In this case, cook more gently and for longer to avoid bubbles that can spoil the stained glass effect a little.
