Yesterday we were visiting my parents for christmas-cookie-baking.

The kitchen was a mess and in the middle my honey decorating
cookies, my father and the dog watching us, my mum swirling
around… I stood there and enjoyed this moment. It was so
wonderful. Just one thing was missing: a child that creates even more
chaos, with little hands who just want to help, beaming eyes…

But this will be one day.
It was fun.

christmas-sweets in August

I´m just curious how it is in other countries.

Since last week we have christmas-sweets in our supermarkets.
Gingerbread, marzipan, ……

Its terrible and its sooner every year.

Is it the same in the US or in other countries? Can you buy
christmas-sweets already in August?

Sweets for my Sweet…

I have baked again.

There is this American Lady, Cynthia Barcomi, that lives in
Germany and had two Cafés in Berlin. And she wrote this
amazing baking recipe book.

So today I made:

An “Banana Chocolate Swirl Cake”

I haven´t cut it yet. I will post a picture of it when I did it.

And  “Chocolate Chip Cookies”. They are very very delicious.
