These Sanikulas Cookies are arrowroot cookies that have the Image of St. Nicholas molded on it
ergo the name Sanikulas, St. Nicholas is also known as “The Healer” from illness. Legend says
that if you consume these cookies when you are ill, you get healed and recover in a shorter
amount of time. The molds are an exceptional piece of folk’s arts and rarity. Sanikulas cookie
make would commission the carvers of these molds with one kind design. They would also have
the initials of the owner monogrammed on the molds. This is why it’s so rare and considered as a
family heirloom. The molds are made of hardwood and are of diferent shapes and sizes. They

The wrapper was made out of delicate Japanese paper. The way to make it is so delicate that only
the ones with skilled hands and perfect control of their motor skills can produce the best kind.
III.TAKA LAGUNA
The art of “taka” or “taka-making” is not an exclusive Pinoy art. Paper mache and decoupaging
have been around for centuries. In the Philippines, the first recorded or mention of a created taka
was by a woman named Maria Bague in the 1920’s. She has wooden moulds that were covered
in strips of paper dipped in a sticky paste. She would later paint them colorfully and presented
them as children’s toys. Due to a fire though, none of the original takas were saved. Taka making
became more popular during the American colonization period when there was an excess of
newsprint. And because Pinoys hate wasting anything, the people of Paete decided to create
more takas and even diversified into different animals and not just the traditional red horse.
