Christmas Stollens are something very German and a very common sweet treat for Christmas. Even though you will find it on many plates with Christmas cookies all over Germany – most of the Stollens are probably not homemade. It’s quite common to buy them in a store instead of baking them at home. They require a bit more work to be prepared compared to regular Christmas cookies but I think it’s worth the effort. I haven’t bought Stollen in many years ;) I don’t want to brag, but my Marzipan Christmas Stollen is one of the best Stollens out there. Beats every Stollen in the supermarket ;P
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
