Marbled Birthday Kugelhopf

It was real yummy.

Switz Xmas Cookies

I have just recovered from this crazy cold. Just in time, it seems since it was high time we started our traditional Xmas cookies bakery. So we did and it was just so much fun as you can tell by the pictured mess. 

Chocolate Cake in 5 Minutes

Well I couldn't believe it but at the same time the idea was irresistible. So I did try it and it WORKED! really yummy this cake and I'll do it again! Especially on one cold and sad afternoon like I am having one today. The recipe can be found on this site. Enjoy!

I wished I could blog about my secret Patchwork Project but as the name says, it is secret, so I can't tell!

Will post about it as soon as semi-finished though!

Yes! Baby Quilt is Finished!

So I went to this patchwork shop in the city and of course they didn't have the needed thread colour so I keept cool and just bought another variegated thread, yet very similar to the one I started with. Then I ran home and quilted the rest of the throw. Now it's finally finished and I will wash this baby quilt tonight and it will be ready to be given away! To celebrate, I have baked some cinnamon buns. Yummie!

Ich bin also heute in diesen Patchwork Laden in die Stadt gefahren und natürlich hatten sie nicht den selben Faden, aber ich blieb ruhig und habe eben einen anderen Faden gekauft, welcher dem ersten sehr ähnlich sieht. Dann bin ich nach hause gerannt und habe die Baby Decke fertig gequiltet. Jetzt ist die Decke fertig und ich werde sie heute abend waschen, und schon ist sie fertig, verschenkt zu werden! Um dies zu feiern, habe ich Zimtschnecken gebacken. Lecker!

Candy Man

Am Sonntag jammerte mein Mann, als ich den vorhergehenden Blog schrieb, dass ich niemals über ihn bloggte. Und wie zufällig gab er mir ausgerechnet am selben Tag einen super Grund dazu, etwas über ihn zu berichten. Oder vielmehr über seine wunderbaren Taten.

Nebenzu ist das Bild auf der Keksmisch-Packung zu sehen. So sollten die leckeren Guetsli aussehen. Läckär!

Unten ist die Realität: So sahen dann die Kekse aus und waren rundherum ganz schön klebrig.

Wenigstens meinem Mann haben sie geschmeckt, wie man ihm sprichwörtlich ab den Lippen lesen kann. Ich mag die Art, wie ich sein Lächeln schneller knipsen konnte, als es brauchte, sich zu beiden Mundwinkeln auszubreiten :-S

So my man was whining when I was writing my previous post on Sunday that I never was blogging about him. And, what a coincidence, that very same day he gave me a great reason to write about him. The top picture is the one on the cookie dough mix box to show the customer how their cookie should look when they make it. Yummy!

The one below is reality: those are my wonderful man's work and pride. At least he liked them a lot as you can "read" from his lips.

I like the way I got to snap the pic of his smile faster than his lips needed to smile on both sides of his mouth :-) or much rather :-S
