Sugarloaf
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sugarloaf was the traditional form, a soft cone like a vertically-stretched gumdrop, in which refined sugar was exported from the Caribbean and eastern Brazil from the 17th to 19th centuries.
Today, it is still common in some parts of Europe, especially in Germany where it is a required ingredient for the holiday season drink Feuerzangenbowle.
