Happy Halloween!

Cheese crackers in "halloween-style" :)

marzipan-lime cookies

I found a recipe for marzipan cookies on the internet and since my friends from France brought me a lot of marzipan when they visited us, I decided to bake these cookies.

When I ate one of them I found them a little bland - so I decided to cover them with a lime icing. The combination of the sweet marzipan and the fresh lime is juicy.

plum-cinnamon gelato with rum - caramelized pecan nut gelato

While it's getting cold in Germany and it's freezing in the night, I started with frozen desserts :)

It's not so easy to get proper ingredients for gelato and to find some heavy cream is like looking for snow in the desert. So I had to be creative - and I think I was successful.

My first two different varieties are "plum-cinnamon with rum" and "caramelized pecan nuts".

Here we go!

Finally we moved in our house :)

Now I can start again with baking. I also can use some of my cake-pans which were hidden in the container for more than a year.

I also brought some ingredients for special pastries from Germany. Today I baked pretzel and pretzel rolls.

last baking...

... in the little cabaña. In two days we move into our house. This means - no more baking on the little porch, no more crawling into my cabinets (because stuff I need is always somewhere in the back)... and... MOST IMPORTANT - I can use my food processor for kneading the dough.

These rolls are the last baking stuff which I baked in the cabaña. They are for a good friend. She ordered some "Semmeln" - I hope she'll like them.

Thanks for being interested in my blog - the kitchen fairy.
