I have not been posting and making cookies for a while, almost none in 2016. I just have my ups and downs with everything that I do. But I had to get started and do the Hungarian Christmas Fair this year. This is the season for gingerbread, I cannot miss it, right?
I do not have a daughter therefore I have never been asked to watch the famous Frozen Disney movie. So when a friend asked me to create Frozen theme party cookies for his daughter, I had to do my research before starting the cookies. (more…)
Wedding favors that your guests will want to keep or eat instead of throw in the trash? The goal is the thank you your guests to attend the wedding and give them something unique to remember by.
I love when someone comes to me with idea, I had never done before. This lady asked me if I can make cookies for her baby boy Christening. I had never than that before, but I did some cookies with names before, so I said yes too the order.
I wanted to create a unique gift for my mom 70th birthday and a new big heart cookie cutter just arrived on time. This is a 9in gingerbread/honey bread/mezeskalacs heart with unique lace design. This unique gift could be customized for any occasion, birthday, anniversary, retirement, engagement, and you name it.

It was a great pleasure to create these colorful mezeskalacs hearts, which are very unique in East Europe country fairs. There was no country fair in my childhood without a mezeskalacs vendor. They sold huge decorated hearts for keepsake which we cherished for a long time.
I did a little bit of research about the tradition behind the design and the shiny mirror in the middle.
These traditional Mezeskalacs (Hungarian honey bread) are not designed for eating and can last indefinitely with care given to storage. The phrase “Szeretlek” means “I Love You” in Hungarian. These are wonderful gifts for grandparents, grandchildren, or anyone worthy of your love and appreciation.
