No, I haven't given up tatting, but I do have a new hobby... baking Springerle cookies! I was on a quest for a special rolling pin for my daughter, when I came upon a beautiful Springerle rolling pin. I was intrigued and started reading up on it, ordered some molds, bought the ingredients, and...
I'm addicted. Thanksgiving weekend, my daughter Andrea and I made our first batch... Andrea really did all the work. I just watched. The cookies were well worth the effort! This past weekend, I decided to try and make them on my own. I had fun, and they turned out almost as good as Andrea's!
We're celebrating December birthdays at school tomorrow. Guess what I'm taking!
Oh, wow! They look beautiful! I've always wanted one of those rolling pins! They look like they are so much fun to make! :)
ReplyDeletePerhaps one day you might provide us all with a tute on how to make these!?!
slurrpppp!!!! They look so yummy, I wish you could send some all the way here...lol.
ReplyDeleteI so love home baked cookies - much better and tastier than what you get outside. Do you like the smell of baking??? Just thinking of it makes my mouth drool! hehe
I hardly cook or bake. Learnt something new today - Springerle rolling pin. These rolling pins are so interesting, the cookies look like art pieces! I'll look out for the pins when I next go shopping.
ReplyDeleteThose look delicious! Baking is a great hobby. I bought a Springerle rolling pin last year, but haven't used it yet. Was it hard to keep the dough from sticking to the shapes on the pin? I have a cookie exchange this weekend, maybe I'll try to make these.
ReplyDeleteThose look delicious! In fact you taught me something new today...I've never heard of this technique.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you have become addicted!
Yumm, yumm! I have these in my Cookie Book but have always shied away from them. Guess I need to take a closer look. They are beautiful and look sooo good!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty -- very nearly too pretty to eat! I've never heard of a whatsit rolling pin. Now, I'm going to have to do a bit of looking. Is the dough something special or is it like a sugar cookie?
ReplyDeleteCan I come visit your place?
ReplyDeleteAnd just when I thought I had my Christmas baking done. WOW they look great.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what a rolling pin is and decorating cakes in this way is unfamiliar to me. But they both look yummy and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I'll have to start the hunt for really cool rolling pins. Blessings.. Polly
