Food | Berry Crumble Pie

A week ago my mom and I were craving something sweet and with berries.

We went on the hunt for the berries and the rest of the ingredients to bake something along the lines of a pie and a crumble.

Christmas Baking: Tanya Burr's Shortbread cookie recipe

As I mentioned a couple of blog post before, in my house my mom and I are baking monsters, therefore every time we come by a recipe that seems good we are going to try and test it out. 

This year, I went a little crazy and watched every Vlogmas out there in youtube, from the people I follow and I loved each and every one of them. One of  my favorites vlogmas had to be Tanya Burrs'. She has a really home-y vibe to her and I can relate a lot with her because she seems a little geek at heart and is a complete wife-y person (not trying to sound old school here, i mean it as a good thing for sure) and that is how I am and see myself as. She did one where she baked shortbread star cookies and it seemed really simple so I decided to give it a try.

Christmas Baking: Gingerbread Cookies

Every year, my mom and I go all out with our baking game. 

We are enthusiasts with our german fruit cake, cupcakes and our gingerbread cookies. 

Homemade cinnamon rolls

What a better way to spend a summer day with the friends of a long long time, than playing games and baking goodies? Well for me, there is not much that tops that, sure one of my favorite things.

Yesterday was a pretty fun day, old friends getting together to enjoy an afternoon and just make it fun and simple and spontaneous.

We decided to bake some cinnamon rolls, quite a job I must say, but it was simple enough for a group of beginners like us.

I don't have the before pictures, but I do have the after ones and they look so delish!

Christmas treats

Hey Guys!

I wanted to know which Christmas treat is your favourite and which is a tradition for your family to bake, or cook for the time? 

My favourite Christmas treats are gingerbread cookies, i love them and I am pretty good at baking them, normally i am the one who bakes them every year at home and we love love love them and their taste and how they are spicy and super sweet. 

This is going to be all about sweets btw, because we love sweets and which time of year is the best to get a hang on them than Christmas? I don't know either hahaha. 

The next treat that I love, is a German cake recipe that my mom does every year with all kinds of dried fruits and is a really heavy and moisture-y cake and iced with Italian meringue and it just runs so nicely and is so good, If I find a picture I'll put it down here. 

Yey I found this picture of the so delicious cake :) and yes, we baked it and decorated it and was so perfectly amazing. 

Those are basically the two treats that I adore for this season. This year I'll be trying to bake some gingerbread cupcakes and I hope they turn out good and if they do, I'll post a picture here so that you can see how they turned out. 

xo,
