Alles zu meiner „Backerei“, Rezepte, Fotos, „Yummy Things“
I promised some more photos from the season opening Christmas buffet at Dani's store. The cookies and cakes are mostly about presentation and making the people feel comfortable. The guests who are coming, knowing already that the taste of gingerbread and co will be amazing, so I tried to show off a really "picture perfect" buffet table, which is stylish and meaningful. First, I am very proud of my Hemisphere Chocolate Cake impression of an English Christmas Pudding. The problem…
Last Saturday my friend Dani from Danröschen had her annual Christmas event for customers in her store. Traditionally this is my "season opener" for Christmas baking. Everything needs to be perfect, I even draw a 'map' where to put things. I also try new recipes and new cake decorations. This is a short preview of the result. I will be posting more pictures with details soon.
For the wonderful "St. Martin" tradition, where kids knock on doors of houses and sing for sweets, I prepared something 'light'. Kit Kat Peanut Butter Crunch Bars. The name says it all, so you don´t want to know what´s in there from a calorie point of view, but they are so yummy and kids love them.
Pretty scary, but extremely yummie. That´s how it should be, right? For these Oreo Halloween denture cookies I simply had to start with home made Oreos. You can easily find recipes online. After baking, just cut it in half and put on the filling, which I dyed in scary teethridge color. For the teeth, I was lucky enough that I still had some mini marshmallows that I brought over from the UK. Unfortunately they are mixed, so I had to…
Last Sunday, we ended the outside teatime season with a bang. I did some seasonal baking and an irresistible autumn decoration. One of our favorite cakes was the choc & caramel cheesecake with chocolate sauce on top! I also offered a warming autumn fruit crumbler with an almond cookie topping, yummieh!, and a delicious ginger cake with fudgy frosting - it really was the perfect september outside retreat! Luckily I had a visit from my dear friend Rosey Sugar from…
The end of the school holidays have snuck on me yet again. I cannot help myself but thinking, that this is maybe also the end of the summer?! No more barefeet walking in flipflops, no more dresses wearing without tights below? To hold back the transition into fall a little bit, I planned a backyard barbecue with some summer decorations, for an unforgettable summer party. Besides the cheese-filled burgers and homemade sesame buns, I made the all-time favorite carrot cake.…
As some of you know, I am currently working on a baking book (very excited) that is scheduled for Nov (lot´s of XMas stuff in it). That is the main reason why I am not posting so frequently. The book will be in German (yes, I know, sorry). The best thing: I am already able to allow my mind to be filled up with lot´s new ideas as my hubby will have to do most of the work in the…
