Honeycakes were a variety of Faerûnian dessert,[1] often served during Shieldmeet.[2]
Description[]
Honeycakes were similar in appearance to what was known on another world as Lebkuchen. They were typically made with both honey and other spices.[1]
In east Faerûn, this dessert contained nuts, bits of lemon or orange peels, and was cut into small squares. The further one went towards west Faerûn, including the Sword Coast, the less one would find of both nuts and peels. Moreover, farmhouse-baked honeycakes were often left in large disk shapes instead of being cut.[1]
