Below is a synopsis based on the original 1892 libretto by Marius Petipa. The story varies from production to production, though most follow the basic outline. The names of the characters also vary. In the original Hoffmann story, the young heroine is called Marie Stahlbaum and Clara (Klärchen) is her doll's name. In the adaptation by Dumas on which Petipa based his libretto, her name is Marie Silberhaus.

A crown created with gingerbread and embellished with rolls of ginger clay along the bottom, ginger clay snowflakes punched with a decorative hole punch, round red sprinkles (nonpareils), and a layer of edible metallic gold paint.
