I wanted to do something with candy eyes for quite some time. I had some leftovers from my Halloween Monster Cookies and I did not want them to go bad. You know – an open bag of eyes does not stay fresh for too long… juuuust kidding ;) A friend of mine was asking for funny Christmas cookies, so I made these Double Chocolate Speculoos Reindeer Cookies. That’s all ;)
If you are coming from the South of Germany, you are quite used to get cake for Three Kings, but here in Berlin, you have to make it yourself. I was the other day in a bakery around the corner and they did not even know that kind of cake :P
I know – it is a bit late to make Christmas cookies now – but it is Cookie Friday and you deserve cookies! That’s why I made these little fellas here ;) Happy Cookie Friday!
Macarons are perfect any day of the year. In the morning, afternoon and at night. 24/7 365 Days! :P Why? Because they are super delicious and you can ‘adapt’ them to any time or year or season – in summer you make something with berries and in winter you can make them with typical Christmas flavors – for example like these here with gingery cookies – awesome, right? :)
What do you need for your Easter Egg Hunt? Easter Eggs! Why not trying these here instead of hard boiled eggs or chocolate eggs? I bet your your kids will like them (almost) as much as chocolate eggs ;)) I would have liked them as a kid (but we did not know lemon curd back then…).
Sweet braided yeast loaves have a long tradition for Easter Celebrations here in Germany. Or better said all over Europe ;)
I can understand why – it is pretty easy to make (takes some time, but the yeast is actually doing most of the work) and super delicious. And so versatile! You can make those loaves plain, with raisins or other fruits, nuts, poppy seed, chocolate… and then eat it for breakfast or with a coffee in the afternoon or just all day as a snack (that’s how I do it).
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 ;)
