The legend of the gingerbread baker's daughter The legend has its origins in the illness of a gingerbread baker's daughter. He had lost his wife to a serious illness some time before. Now, as you can imagine, he was very worried about losing his daughter too. No doctor could help. In his great despair, he remembered that oriental spices were said to have healing properties.

This was made without flour and only with the highest quality

DD Suggestion Drive 2025 After years, we’ve finally brought back the Daily Deviation Suggestion Drive!  What is the Daily Deviation Suggestion Drive you might ask? In past events, many members of our art community came together and suggested an amalgamation of art from many different artists in hopes they would receive a Daily Deviation, but with the twist to see who can also suggest the most work in general to us CVs or Staff Members. The goal was to get as many artists out there for recognition while also showing some fun competitive spirit at the same time. Hence why we’re bringing it back. We hope to bring many talented artists to the Daily Deviation page again.  Daily Deviation FaQ What is Daily Deviation?  A 24-Hour Feature that the staff or Community Volunteers feature for art to be recognized by the community. Where are the Daily Deviations? Next to the DeviantArt logo, press/click the menu and look for the sign. Press/Click it and you’ll be able to find the DDs. Or
