A brand new year is approaching – it could be good to know what is going to happen, right? We are all a bit curious about what the next year might bring. Instead of asking a psychic or trying to read tea leaves, you can make some Fortune Cookies and let them decide what’s coming up… and since you are the one making them and creating the messages, you are the one deciding what’s gonna happen ;P
Sometimes I wonder why it took me so long to make lemon curd at home. Stupid. It is such an easy thing to do and the result is sooo delicious! Well… as we say in Germany “Lieber spät als nie” – translated “better late than never” ;)
I got no cake today! I’m sorry. Today’s is all about breakfast! I mean you could make a cake for breakfast – that would be an option – but I want to concentrate on the good stuff that ends on your bread on a nice Sunday brunch/breakfast: a delicious Nougat-White-Chocolate-Spread! So good!
There is no cake for you today in this house! I did not heat up the oven… well, actually I did, but not to bake a cake. Nope. Today I got some nice ice cream for you. Ice cream inspired by a cake. Can’t get rid of the cake topic completely. Somehow they are everywhere involved :P
Are you a licorice fan or do you hate it? I think there is not much in between loving it and hating it ;) At our house, there are two distinct parties – the licorice lovers and the licorice haters… I belong to the group that likes licorice. Of course! :P That’s why you are getting some delicious licorice syrup from me today. Homemade of course!
Do you like caramel? I am definitely a huge fan! Everything made with caramel is better than stuff made without caramel – that’s a fact! Just think of Crème Brûlée…! ;)
The thin caramel layer on a Crème Brûlée is pretty easy to make – you just need some sugar, a kitchen torch and a minute. Making caramel or caramel sauce in larger quantities is a bit more difficult. Fortunately, for caramel sauce, there is a way to make it easy and without much effort.
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 ;)
