I'm still baking cookies...







The brown ones are ginger cookies. I used molasses for the first time. The taste is ok, but I think I could improve a little to match my taste. Sugar cookies are just fine. I'm so thankful to my mother-in-law for the recipe!

Oh, it's Christmas Time! I rarely do anything special but baking "Plätzchen" (Christmas cookies in German).



The colorful ones will travel to Japan for my niece and nephews, and the other ones are for everybody else including me! But it's just the beginning, I'll bake more and more and more...!

It was my first trial to bake with green tea powder. The color outside isn't very nice......

Suddenly I wanted to eat something which demands me to use my delicate sense.

And then, I had a little hard time to find some recipe which is easy but tasty enough because the word "delicate" is actually far beyond me. I mean, I can't make anything which requires  special skill, or which is complicated to make.

Finally, I found a simple recipe to make this roll cake, which has only a few easy steps to make and is delicious as well! I'm totally satisfied with the result even though it has some holes in the cream. It's ok, then it was my very first trial!

Last week, I tried to bake a Zwetschgenkuchen (Plum Pie), but it didn't really succeed. So, this time I tried another recipe, which is called "Zwetschgenkuchen nach Thüringer Art"  (Plum Pie à la Thüringen).

Wow! Zwetschgen!
