Guess what – I got another idea for a Mother’s Day gift you could make to surprise your mom on Sunday. Something floral but no flowers (they look much better in the garden anyway). Today I got some delicious sugar cookies with floral royal icing decorations. The perfect Mother’s Day DIY project that will put a smile on your mothers face for sure ;)
Rhubarb has been one of my favorites for ages when it comes to baking. These red and green stalks are just great for all kinds of bakes. The flavor of rhubarb isn’t necessarily something everybody likes, but I really love this sweet and sour combination. With this little “Best of Rhubarb” list I would like to show you all the things you can do with this veggie – besides a simple rhubarb compote and rhubarb cakes there is a lot more deliciousness waiting for you! ;)
January and February are generally colder winter months in Germany. This year February hit us hard with a lot of snow and very low temperatures. Sub-zero temperatures all day and night. My mind and body are constantly requesting soul food/comfort food and loads of calories. To get through winter I recommend making these Mini Brownie Chocolate Mousse Trifles from time to time. Chocolate for lifting the mood and the calories for your hips and belly ;P
Carnival celebrations and fried food belong together like Jack and Jill ;P Don’t you think so? If you’ve had too much to drink while partying, a deep-fried snack like this one here can save your life… or at least create the foundation for more drinking action, if necessary ;P Just kidding! You don’t have to drink any alcohol if you want to enjoy these delicious Mutzenmandeln. You can eat them completely sober all year round if you want!
Valentine’s Day is coming up soon. The day of the lovers… or as I would say “the day of the florists and candy manufacturers to increase sales” ;P I got no flowers for you today, but some delicious Valentine’s Day Heart Cookies. Something you could make for a loved one or other people you like… there is no reason to limit yourself here. Make as many people happy as you can ;)
Happy Cookie Friday! The week is almost over and the weekend is coming up – this means I got a fresh batch of cookies for you today! No “classic” American cookies this time, but still something nice and sweet: Emoji Sandwich Cookies! Say something with cookies without having to speak at all ;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 ;)
