Santa´s Village on the Fireplace

This year Santa decided to set up an entire village on our main fireplace. With little shops, cafes and tin cars delivering christmas trees and other cute things. Santas electrician aka my hubby was a little grumpy setting the lights up as the different shops do not have the same lighting system. Well, Santa does not care about 'cables', he just want it to be nice. I am sure he will thank his electrician with a couple of gifts under…

Christmas Deer Herd on the Stairs

All the deer that are spending the summer together in a box in the attic are starting their season gathering on the stairs. Last year they spread themselves all around the house, but it seems that this year they stay together to be more impressive.

Front Porch Christmas Decoration

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.

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 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.

Halloween Pumpkin Pom-Pom

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.
