Home bakery

This year we really had no idea for L's birthday party. Maybe it's because she's kind of more allround compared to M. But M had a proposal: why not baking cookies with her friends? So that's what happened last Wednesday afternoon. The very same morning (!) I hardly managed to sew these baker hats, and quickly taped them to the wall as a decoration before the girls arrived. I'm talking about the usual time-management that I seem to learn never...

The fabrics I had laying around and finally I was happy with the adjustability, see the velcro detail. And yes, there was a big mess so we can say it was a big success. And a good idea indeed, M! The girls so loved to knead!

The girls baked colorful cookies and took them home in a self-folded cookie box, explained by little teacher L.

Masu

Look what M treated her classmates on her birthday this morning: paper sheets printed by mama, folded into boxes by the two of us (we used squares of 18 and 17 cm)...

... filled with mmmm cookies (based on this recipe, without coffee and with or without chocolate), homemade by papa.

Tradition

This 'Linzertorte' was made by F, something he does every year in December. A tasteful habit from his German roots. This week he baked one for school, one for today and one for tomorrow. Mmmm... For today's diner in our house F will make an appetizer, M a soup, I will prepare a quiche and L is going to make her first dessert.
May this year's Xmas taste good to you all!
