There have always been shops selling cakes, and some cakes were named after its manufacturer. Licider cakes were also named after its manufacturer. That is how Licidar became a man who makes licidar cakes. This occupation was previously very widespread in our region. Licidar cakes are still made as one of the most beautiful souvenirs. Licorice cakes are more for watching than for eating. Some licorice cakes are not edible at all because they contain flour and gypsum, in order to be nicer and firmer. Their main purpose is to be an ornament and to be hung around the neck or on the wall. So it didn't matter if they were fresh but what they looked like. Licidari sell their products in their shops or at fairs. At the fairs, the children wanted their parents to buy them that colorful liqueur cake. Licidar cakes can be in the shape of: hearts, slippers, guitars, cows ... Yet the most famous heart-shaped cake is Licidarsko srce. In addition to various decorations, this heart also has a small mirror. The boys gave it to the girls at the fairs as a sign of their sympathy.
