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…)
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.

One of my favorite recipe for gingerbread cookies.
I tried the traditional American gingerbread, but that was too spicy for me. In my country Hungary, we also have a similar recipe, made with almost the same ingredients, but instead adding molasses we add honey. I combined these two recipes to get something very delicious.
I have baked and decorated many different kind of gingerbread cookies this yeas. This is one of my favorite, which will be on the donated to the Hungarian Society for their annual raffle drawing.
A mother ordered the Pirate cookies for his sons party but he also had a little sister. She wanted to please her as well and asked me if I can come up with some mermaid cookies for her. And that was the birth of the decorated mermaid cookies.
Sure I could! I love special orders, it just helps me to try something new and fun. Like the these here. I used the same colors as I used on the Treasure map and that help to pull the theme together.
I tried to make a birthday puzzle cookie for a friend. Also added a dozen of small heart shaped cookies for fun and for munching.
That is my first attempt do to a puzzle cookie, which is not easy because the dough I was using spread a little. Not much but enough that the edges wont fit. So I had to cut them straight.
Since them I found a great recipe on LilaLoa blog that just great for this this kind of cookies, because the cookie does not increase at all.
