Alles zu meiner „Backerei“, Rezepte, Fotos, „Yummy Things“
A traditional English Victoria Sponge is one of my favorite cake recipes. Especially when it´s summer and I am able to add fresh berries. Today I am expecting a couple of friends over, so I made 2 versions. One for eat in and one to go. Yummy.
A friend is having a larger family get together today and asked me for ideas on how to offer little sweet things 'buffet style'. The main focus was: kids should love it. I started by educated guessing that kids like ice cream and colours. Since I am always fascinated by cute things that are a little vintage looking, I came up with this Vintage Cake Pops Ice Cream Parlour. As you know, for me, the idea is not enough. When…
As a birthday present I got Bunny shaped Cookie cutters and I wanted to create something special with them. My only problem: Today being the last day of the Easter. So I had to hurry, bake the cookies and apply the fondant decoration. Time pressure and my impatience when it comes to making tiny things is usually not a good combination.

The hubby made fresh pancakes for me and he presented them as a tower on the plate with the maple syrup dropping down...yummy! yes,…
Valentine's week starts today with "crafty Monday". You guessed it, this might be the first of many Valentine´s Day related posts that I am planning to do. Last week I have already finished these cute miniature cookie etageres but the things that I wanted to put on them were still missing. I think it´s kind of boring if there are cookies on a cookie etagere. So I had to find something else that would also relate to the overall Valentine`s…
This is the weekend, where even I have to admit that the Christmas season has ended. However since we still got some new snow yesterday, it´s a good time to make some baked apples, for old times sake, of course, with a little 'christmassy' rum flavored filling.
