Beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, cloves, lemon peel and orange-back with the whisk of the hand mixer until foamy. Crush the candied orange peel and lemon peel cubes a little more. Gradually add the ground almond and hazelnut kernels, some ginger, cocoa and baking powder to the foamy egg cream. Cut the baking wafers into 4 pieces and spread 1 tablespoon of the prepared mixture on each. Put them on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 150°C/ gas: level 1) for 30 minutes. Let it cool down on a cake rack.
Mix icing sugar and lemon juice to a spreadable glaze. Spread on the gingerbread with a thick brush. Decorate the still moist cakes with cherries, almonds and the ginger. Leave to dry. Results in about 20 pieces
