Valentine´s Day Miniature Cookie Etageres

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…

Season Closing Baked Apples

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.

New Year’s Resolutions

When my husband took this photo of cookies in front of Grandma's Pie shop all his good new year´s resolutions were gone. He thought he could stay away from sweets in Jan 2013.

Gingerbread House Party

Doing a gingerbread house is not the newest idea of course, but I am doing it every year on christmas with great fun. This year I had the (supposed to be!) glorious idea of baking a complete gingerbread village with many of tiny houses and deers and sweets around, without thinking how much efforts and time-consuming that would be. I had the idea of a village quite some weeks in my head already and was so eager of doing it.…

Sweets for Kids on St. Martin

In our area in Germany we have this tradition where kids make their own laterns and knock at doors of houses. When you open up the door, they sing songs that go back to a story of St. Martin, a guy who helped the poor by sharing his clothes. Well, today the kids do not want clothes they are in for a sweet treat.This year, I wanted to make sure that, our house is being recognized as a special location…

Christmas Event at Danroeschen

Yesterday was the start into the Xmas season and I decorated my new wooden etagere for the first time. I was so proud to show this Winter-Wood-Forest-Leaves-Deco, that I was in a incredible good and happy mood the days before already! Everybody did ask: "Oh my god, are you not being stressed out completely with all this baking and stuff?". Well, no, I wanted to present all the new stuff and recipes, and I did! Tell me, How did you…

Upgrade the traditional apple!

With a caramel-cover and some almonds around, this sunday is going to be great! Even if the temperature is now really getting cold in Germany (we had -3C degrees in the morning), the sun is shining, the leafs are falling down, it is pretty nice outside. For the first time this fall, I wore a wollen hat and my winterjacket when we went out for a walk this morning. If you want to make the apples yourself, just heat up…
