I love Stollen but have always bought it in the past, so this year I thought I would have a go at making my own! I do love making bread but it can be so time consuming to make and normally I decide too late in the day to make it and have to resolve…… Continue reading German Stollen Bread
I have very early memories of these biscuits, my Grandma used to make them for me as child and they were one of my favourites.

For the icing I used Royal Icing with a touch of violet food colouring. I’m a bit of a perfectionist and I found the icing…… Continue reading Easter Bunny Biscuits..
