Christmas 2013

It was around the Christmas of 2013 that I first heard of Springerles. I had to try my hand at making those. So among the sweet stuff for that Christmas I made those. Found a recipe and bought a couple of molds on amazon. 

Also, looked into  a couple of Goan specialties. Like the kulkuls and the layered Bebinca. and made those too, along with a few other cookies.

Christmas centerpiece 2014

I made this centerpiece for the Christmas of 2014. Wanted to make a Yule log and also wanted to incorporate a gingerbread house and Frozen movie theme into it for my little niece.  Of course, Batman had to be there!

Yule log with meringue mushrooms, sugar paste elves and holly. Coconut flakes for snow. and then marshmallows, and gumdrops.Gingerbread houses were made in the Nordicware duet pan, using the recipe on the packing.

Before all that,
