Yummy Boxing Day Breakfast

with Sticky Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls & Eggnog Frosting and Gingerbread Man Shaped Granola. After Christmas, I wanted to do some fun breakfast. Question #1 was: How to combine my favorite Christmas items pumpkin, cinnamon and eggnog to something yummy? I decided to slightly change the recipe for cinnamon rolls from my book. Instead of adding potatoes, I used pumpkin mash. For the filling, I added pumpkin spice and one cup of eggnog to the original cream cheese frosting. As granola…

White Chocolate Cookies ’n‘ Cream Fudge

Do you like White Chocolate?, do you like Marshmallows?, do you like Oreo Cookies? Then you certainly love this White Chocolate Cookies 'n' Cream fudge. The White mixture of evaporated milk, white chocolate morsels und marshmallow cream is one of the best home made 'impersonations' of the Oreo white filling that I came across recently. So these sweet yummy bars might also be called 'Cookies fudged into home made white Oreo filling".

I smell something Yummy – Christmas from the Oven

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…

First Christmas Cake Buffet of the Season

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.

Kit Kat Peanut Butter Crunch Bars

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.

The Scariest Halloween Cookies Ever

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…

Sunday Halloween Coffee

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,…
