Is your oven fan forced for 200 degrees? Looks nice, except I will leave out the cloves, as I dislike it.
 
"These last for maybe 4 weeks" ............ haha .... they wouldn't even get to room temperature at my place.

I love Greek food especially their sweets because they don't have too much sugar
