It’s the end of the month again and you know what this means… It is time for another round of “Bake Together – The Baking Surprise”! Yay! I love this little monthly event with Andrea from Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte ;) This month we decided to bake something with oranges – and as you can see, I made this gorgeous and delicious orange tart with caramelized oranges and a tiny little hint of whipped cream :P So good!
What are your favorite Christmas Cookies? The classic ones? Here in Germany, the most common Christmas Cookies are probably easy biscuit cookies, sandwich cookies and cinnamon stars – all recipes you can already find on my blog ;) This year I decided to make a batch of new cookies: Orange Pecan Chocolate Cookies! Really nice ones! They earned a spot on the “must bake list” for next Christmas and the ones following!
Citrus fruits and cheesecake go so well together, you know that, right? ;) This one does not only have one type of citrus fruits inside, but three! In design you normally say – less is more – but here…?! More is more! Is better! :P
It’s only the beginning of February and I am ready again to take some vacation ;) It feels like spring is not coming for at least a hundred years – it is still cold and wet outside. It would be so nice to go to a country where it’s warm and sunny now, right?
Unfortunately there is not always time to go somewhere, or maybe no money or whatever…! Sometimes you have to bring the good times into your own home – with some delicious treats from the vacation destinations you like the most ;)
These scones with a hot chocolate or tea, when it’s cold outside – hard to beat. Too bad they are all gone already, cause it just started snowing again outside :P
There are some things out there I thought I would never have make myself – candied fruits for example. I always thought if you need something like that you can get it in a supermarket or one of those fancy sweets shops… well I was wrong :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 ;)
