Cinnamon Rolls with warm Caramel Nut Sauce

Last weekend, there just had to be Cinnamon Rolls. I took the base recipe from my book and did some experimenting with the frosting. Since I have recently become a true caramel lover, I tried a warm caramel nut sauce. So, I simply melted brown sugar, butter, heavy cream (all from the top of the calorie leaderboard) together with almonds. The taste was incredible. Compared to traditional cinnamon rolls the sauce is way thinner and is more 'absorbed' by the…

Crafty Book Jacket for „Backen mit Love“

I started to work on some crafty book jackets for my German baking book „Backen mit Love“. Main reason was that my personal copy of the book needed a cover, but when I saw all those cute fabrics that I have collected, I just had to start designing. Here´s the first that is finished. So cute. I know what you might be thinking. Can I have one ? Honestly, I don´t know yet. I guess yes. It depends on how many I will have in the end and whether there is a nice idea on how to allocate them. I don´t want to sell them or simply do a lottery. Maybe you have some ideas. Although, I am not making promises, I know myself, maybe it will be just to hard to let them go. I keep you posted.

Crochet Totoro

My hubby loves „My Neighbor Totoro“, so when his sister asked me for birthday gift recommendations, I said „Why don´t you try to make him a crochet Totoro“. I am not very good (and not patient) at crafty things that are „accurate“, so this was the perfect challenge for her. What she came back with is simply amazing. Of course the hubby already asked and wants the little white „Chibi Totoro“ for Xmas. I am not mentioning the ginger cat here, messing around with the pictures.

Peanutbutter Apple Cake with Caramel Drizzle

Sometimes on a Sunday, especially when the weather is bad, I just have to bake something. So this time I was experimenting with apples, peanutbutter and a dark caramel. As a basis for the cake, I used a standard Victoria Sponge recipe out of my book and added 10.000 cal of peanutbutter and a couple of apple slices. To also try something new with caramel, I made it dark. However, I had to be careful there as dark caramel is…

Cookie Gifts from Japan

This weekend my dear friend Rosey Sugar from Tokyo visited me in Germany. The "homeless" cats around our house are always happy to see her, as she is not only "giving" them food, she is turning it into a little ceremony. But I am happy too, she brought so many cute things and I am totally inspired and want to go to Tokyo right away. She has her very own Rosey Cookie Cutter collection now. And the best, she has…

Cute Summer Indoor Bunting

To clear out all sorts of crafty leftovers, I came up with the idea for this summer bunting. Little crochet things, buttons, tapes and laces are piling up everywhere at our house and their presence might get questioned by the hubby. So a bunting is the perfect camouflage. However, since the weather is not so nice yet, I had to put it up indoors. I am very happy with the result. Although it looks a little bit too white to…
