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.
You probably all know Pop Tarts, right?! No? Those little sweet snacks from the US? You can get them here too in Germany – many supermarkets have them now in the section with American foods. They are little packets or better said hand pies- filled with ham or chocolate for example. You put them in the toaster to heat them up and then you have a little sweet snack ready. These homemade Pop Tarts need a bit longer to prepare but you don’t have to worry about the ingredients – you known exactly what’s in there..
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 ;)
