I love „Deko“ und ich dekoriere alles was rumsteht, vor allem unser Haus, hier ist das alles zusammengefasst
This year the front porch Christmas decoration is all about ribbons and making it cozy for Santa so that he feels comfortable, stays long and leaves a lot of gifts behind for me. You must know I have been very good this year. I tried to set it up like it could be his living room. If he is up for a little skiing he can do that as well.
This weekend, my hubby is in trouble as I told him that we`ll be setting up the Christmas decoration. Since he is responsible for outside lighting, this means serious work. Only 4 weeks to go, so stay tuned, there'll be lot's of pics coming up. Since the hubby was not willing to get photographed standing on the ladder grumpy as nothing seemed to work, here´s me adjusting the front porch.
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.
Happy Halloween! Instead of carving out a real pumpkin, this year I decided to go for these Pumpkin Pom-Poms. The name alone is a very cute tongue twister. Don´t believe it ? Try to say it 5 times quickly. Pumpkin Pom-Pom, Pumpkin Pom-Pom, Pumpkin Pom-Pom ...... Although we live in an area with no Halloween tradition what so ever, I told the hubby to buy things for trick or treators. Just in case. You´ll never know.
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…
I decided to kick off Halloween week with the appropriate coffee. I love these glass mugs that come in different sizes and have beautiful lids with ornament holes in them. The coffee is, of course, best served together with freshly baked cinnamon rolls. However this time I made "cinnamon knots" to honor a special holiday I have heard that they have in Sweden: Cinnamon Roll Day. I missed it and I am not really sure if it´s really a holiday,…
